Glad to pass it on at 70 we need to have the younger guy keep it going.

What is the best way to go about freeing up the vent screw on the gas cap? It seems to be rusted/corroded shut. My thoughts were soak it in something like clr but I didn’t know if that would hurt the plastic gas cap. Any thoughts?

if I have a problem I drill them out and replace them drill small and then use a tap to clean the threads

If you clamp the vent screw in a vice
between 2 pieces of wood so you don’t
mar it up then you have more to grab
on to. Spray with some type of lubricant
and try just going back and forth at first.
No luck? Give it a break and try later.
Time can be a big part of the solution
when getting stuff unstuck.

Can someone please explain to me how to remove the tower from the transom clamp assembly? The rod circled in the parts diagram needs to come out but I don’t know how it does. It is threaded on the inside of it on the top and there is no hole to take it out the bottom. Any help?

Thread a 1/2-20 piece of all-thread and pull up and out….

You can buy replacement coil from Rock Auto for $24.95 – Its Standard #S3-604 made in USA . They work as good as the Phelon.

Yes, but more of a light press, meaning it is not going to require a huge amount of force to get it out..
