MillerTimee Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) @scottmillertime 1996 Malibu sunsetter vlx complete restoration! First post!! Really Really Really wish this this give away was last month lol! I am currently installing new “Glide”strut bearings in my shaft strut while rebuilding my motor. Have seen great reviews and wanted to give them a shot! Would love to use a drip less shaft seal on this old girl but I’m building this boat on a budget and funds had to be spent elsewhere. Would love to do a how to post with dripless install. (Shout out to The Prop Shop for all the helpful info on strut bearings and sweet koozie! -June 2019 Completed tasks: bilge paint, prop removal (with diy prop puller), prop shaft removal prop, prop strut bearings removal and installation, prop rebuild. Sorry for the long post but can’t wait to share this sunsetters journey with the group. The project! New Glide bearings. Was a fight used sawzal and drift pin method. $10 home made prop puller. ( don’t laugh it worked great) Used 2 $5 dollar c clamps New glide bearings installed using freezer and homemade tool. Painted bilge before and after. An old salty dog said to just use this over expensive bilge paint. Repacked shaft seal with GTU graphite packing! It’s what was in the budget 😢 Edited June 11, 2019 by MillerTimee Add more photos was worried about space limit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what seal is in this boat. I loved my Glide Seal in my last book at for sure! Just a wild guess but most MBs I've seen from this vintage got the the PSS carbon faced seal from PYI Inc. Have seen a few where people think they are toast and they just need compressed. The set screws slides up the shaft and it starts leaking. If you ever need to service it I've got some tips. I dont need a Glide seal, so good luck to all!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan1776 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) I've owned the boat for one year so upgrades since owning- 2010 23LSV w/350 Acme 2419 Wetsounds MC-1 Wetsounds 12" sub Polk PA1000.1 for sub Polk db651's throughout Wetsounds HLCD Tower speakers-6x9 to keep the factory cans FAE Exhaust Heater with 3 ports. 2 pull outs and one for captain chair 1100lb bags in the rear. 2-1100gph pumps with Y to fill bag and hardtank Separate drain pumps for bag sharing common line with tank drain. I made a custom controller and measurement system to monitor the bag level using the factory screen. So 50% bag shows 50% on the Malivu Medallion. When draining, the bags drain first until enough weight has been removed from the bag, then the hard tank drain comes online and then the Malivu automatically switches over to show hard tank level. (I've thought about marketing this! lol) My boat had a run in with the dock when the lake level rose. So now I need a new platform.....B.O.A.T......
