rondds posted the best, full of pic's and what not to do's, "how to" for the 8.1 MPI, which was an update for this boat. Aproaching 550 hours at this time. Not sure I'm up to it! LOL
Awesome share! I need to do mine as well according to the hours. Question: If there is still good water flow from the exhaust, is it necessary to inspect?
You should have a buzzer (probably hanging) under the dash, it may be inoperable. To answer your question, anything is possible. Sometimes it's just not worth the cost and effort. The communication equipment available will allow it.
Great idea for the screw holes! Did you re-use the original light pole? I'm leaning toward a new one, maybe LED. The mount on the original is made for the sloping windshield and I don't care for the configuration anyway...
