im beginning to remember why i sold my last boat.....sheesh...well after figuring out my carb flooding problem and was happy there were no more problems...(fuel pump was bad, oh well carb needed an o/h anyway)..i spoke to soon...while the boat was idling i noticed a drip..then another...then i look in the bilge and see a small puddle...crap the water pump is leaking out the weep hole...so on to the next repair..i installed a new water pump ...and before i start the motor again im heading down to the local farm and buy a few dead chickens to wave in the air and perform a ritual dance hoping that i wont have any more problems..maybe just maybe the boat gods will smile down upon me...or they just might be hungry for chicken...lol..
