Hello everyone, 1st time on the forum. Bought a 2002 182 BR, w/4.3. Love it! Couple of questions;
1. Drivers seat too low, does anyone have ideas on how to raise the seat? Maybe you fabbed up something yourself, or know of an after market seat booster. Right now i stack orange life preservers, a little tacky!
2. I'm wondering if my engine is running a little hot, maybe the water pump impeller needs to be replaced. The temp neddle sits at about 170, about 1 O'clock. I don't know, I thought maybe the norm was 12 O' Clock, straight up. The high temp alarm has never gone off, I just don't won't to hurt the engine. And is the job attainable for a shade tree mechanic. I replaced one on a 40 horse merc. Thanks for your input!
