I'm assuming you were winterizing your raw water cooled engine. Do you have a water pressure gauge? I would suspect that even though you're getting some water flow, your impeller is ready for changing. When the engine runs, is there any water escaping or squirting out between the drive and...

I'll try that. I'm still going to order the kit because my pump housing is scored but it would be nice to know that there isn't an obstruction in the water lines caused by something I did during reassembly.

That sounds like the same kit and why I was hesitating purchasing the kit vs a new pump or even a new stainless steel Hardin Marine pump. By "finesse" do you mean drilling out the hole on the mount slightly so you can get the bolt to line up? It doesn't move the pulley out of alignment in the...

An update: it turns out the engine alignment was within spec. So my preseason tuneup consisted of new bellows, gimbal bearing, cool fuel filter and strainer, engine oil filter and change, gear lube change and new raw water impeller(bravo 3). So..... Everything went back together and I test...

This is my first time trying to adjust the alignment so I too am not sure what "little resistance" actually means. It takes I firm hand hold on the tool to insert and remove the tool from the coupler. The YouTube vids show people pushing the tool in with just a finger and pulling it out with...

Yeah I've watched a few vids and seen how easy it can be to slide the tool in and out. You've hit the nail on the head. I don't want to be replacing a coupler anytime soon. Boating season is not quite upon us so if it takes a few weeks to get right then so be it. It's just frustrating that...

I'm admitting defeat and will call my shop on Monday and schedule a time where I can bring the boat in and see if maybe they have a spider monkey on loan from the zoo that maybe can get in there and adjust the mounts. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I did the whole 90 degree engine rotation and insert the alignment tool and bang on the tool with a dead blow hammer at 12, 3, 6, and 9 O'clock and it still shows just a slight drag ( can't push it in with just a finger, you have to use your whole hand). The grease shows it's dragging on the...

I just finished a transom service today including replacing the gimbal bearing. Upon checking the alignment, I can tell that I'm off just a fraction as the alignment tool drags a bit too much as I withdrawal it from the engine coupler. I've determined that the front of the engine needs to be...

If it's anything like the 220 Sundeck, it's up underneath the backside of the helm panel. Open up the door where the cooler goes, stick your head in and look up.

So I'm winterizing my boat for the first time. Usually my boat lives in a heated garage but this year it will be under a carport. My issue is the four blue plugs on the front of the engine. I can get to the top one, the one on the bottom port side, and the lower one on the raw water pump...

I twist the straps before attaching them to the eyes- seems to work pretty good on keeping the buzzing down. My number one mod by far is SeaDek on the swim platform. I've also done most of the other mods people have mentioned as well. The other one that works particularly well is a...

Out of curiosity, I went to Cobalt's site and "built" my dream machine. A fully optioned A25 with a 496 HO w/ seacore and just about every option selected, including a tower. $170,000+! But hey, the throw pillows for the bow section are a bargain at $69!

I've brought this topic up before but now I'm serious about new propellers. We just finished our annual camping/boating trip to Prineville Reservoir located in Central Oregon. This reservoir has an elevation of about 3200'. That combined with eight people and a 5.0 MPI turning 22P three...

DO NOT SIT IN A COBALT! It will cost you whatever they're asking for their boat! Truthfully, I like my Searay and it fits my needs. Cobalt boats are built to an amazing standard though. There really is no comparison. Like I said, one visit to a cobalt dealer and you'll be hooked. You'll...

vv Yeah, but would it start? :smt043

Where's the fun in that? :)

Correct. 12 ga is fine for just that one circuit. It is fused BTW.

Fist of all, I should have warned you about one of my many flaws. That is over-engineer stuff to death! My setup was born out of the necessity of having a very high amp sound system that would run the start battery down pretty quickly if I really cranked it up. Anyway, yes you can literally...

Good to know! Thanks for the info! Did you buy it from snapincarpet.com?
