Lazy Daze,
No grommets that I can remember. Screwed into the bottom of the pad. The boat is wrapped for the winter otherwise I would have taken a picture.
To remove the back rest. you have to lay down on the deck and look at the bottom of the pad. You will see screws that hold the back rest in place. Remove the screws and tap the bottom of the back rest with your palm and the back rest will then come off. 5-minute job.
According to the tec sheet. I should get 5000-5500 rpm's out of my 350 mpi 5.7 mercruiser and get 40 mph. The best I can get is 4300-4500 on a good day and 32 mph. I just had a new long block put in. same 5.7 and all I get is the same numbers. I think it has a lot to do with the way the drive is...
Thanks Guys. I contacted Raybo and sent him photos of what needs to be repaired. I am waiting for him to contact me. I also spoke with two others, and am waiting for them also. I will contact South Shore this week as well as Gulf.
Thanks Again
Good Morning,

Its the water pressure sensor. 5 min fix. This happened to me and two of my dock mates. Unplug it and remove it. Put you finger over the hole where the sensor goes, some water will come out. Install the new one and be on your way. Its located on the back of the motor on the power steering tube...
My 05 350 Mag Mpi 300 hours on a rebuilt cut out at 3700 rpms like I turned the key off. The motor hiccupped one time but kept on running smooth. And after a while it just shut off and would not restart. Got towed back to the dock and started to check things over.
I managed to get it started by...
This same issue happened to a friend of mine. It was leaking at the blue plug. He tried a stainless plug and it made it worse. Turns out the Water Distribution Housing had a crack. Changed the housing all good now.
Congratulations and welcome to the best club ever created. Remember one thing. Everyday is Saturday except for Sunday. And then its Saturday again. Enjoy every minute of it.
Crossr1,
You were spot on with the way the boat handles. Its a chore to drive this boat at times. I said it once and I'll say it again. Its a lake boat at best. Where I boat on LI it's very congested on the water. Some day are better than others. I try to go out during the week (less boat...
I had that happen to me. I had 3in spacers and had to add 4.5in spacer to prevent that from happening again. My risers are now 7.5 in high. On certain boats the motor sits too low in the water and you have this issue. Hope this helps.
