Post subject: | Need some GTR help |
I got tasked with bringing my brothers boat to Gatortail to get worked on, needed bearing work and upgraded the reverse to gen 3 while it was there. Picked the boat up and took it out saturday for a ride, all went well. Got home and noticed these bolts hanging from the clutch cover. Pulled clutch cover off and I am pretty sure these bolts go with the bracket that holds the caliper. Anyhow, I would throw it all back together but I am afraid the nuts maybe at the bottom of the belt housing, they are lock nuts so I doubt they would back off on there own. In the case they were only hand tight and fell to bottom of belt housing should I leave them there or tear everything apart to retrieve them. |

I'm no rocket scientist but I wouldn't leave chunks of metal near moving mechanical parts for sure. |

Looks like they've got new hardware on there. Those could be the old bolts they took out and accidentally left in there. |

I'd definitely check in the belt housing for the nuts though |

I cant see anything in the belt housing, and if they are in there im sure im going to find them under the sprocket and belt. Its SS hardware so a magnet is a no go. I talked to GT and they said throw some nuts on there and run it or bring it in and they will look over it. I just hate to take off from work to make the drive. |

Loosen the 4 nuts (1/2") that hold the engine to the frame. Then remove the nuts holding the outdrive to the belt housing (9/16"). Pull the outdrive off, fish out the 2 lost nuts, put it all back together. Looking at 30 mins, tops. |
