Impeller is belt driven on underside at front of engine, not in the outdrive.
If there is bubbles only on plane then the intake tube?
We're planning to take it out this week and to a shop next week so hopefully I can use it the following week when I'm back at the lake.
I havent pulled the impeller yet this time but the first time it was missing vanes, etc and the second time the housing was worn so it was replaced along with the impeller again.
Can you see the intake tube with boat on water? Not sure where to look
Boat is fresh water only with 500 hours on it.
We have had 3 impeller failures over the last few seasons. This seemed to start after we had the gimbal ring replaced. We did the impeller twice with new housings and after maybe an hour of use it started overheating again and acting as if the impeller is out again.
We hooked up a clear tube...
We have A 2000 cobalt 206 boat that we keep on Lake Tahoe moored to a buoy. Wondering whether it is better to leave the outdrive up in the trailer position or all the way down while it is moored for the summer. Looking around the marinas here it seems to be mixed with some boats leaving it up...
Getting ready to put our new to us boat in the water for the season and looking for advise about what the best way to tie up to the buoy would be. We ordered an 18" Sur-moor T3C buoy but what type of line is best for mooring? There are so many types of mooring lines I want to make sure we get...
i bought a 2000 Cobalt last month and winterized it a couple weeks ago. It has 2 new interstate deep cycle batteries that I pulled out and put in the garage for the winter. Should I put them on a battery tender for the winter or just let them sit as is?
Also, the boat has a perko switch and the...
After searching for few months through CL and boat trader I ended up purchasing a 2000 Cobalt 206. I had to drive about 5 hours to get it, but I never found something I liked more closer to home. We will be using her primarily at our house at Lake Tahoe, which is where the boat was originally...
I am looking at a 2001 Cobalt 206, about 450 hours on the 350 mag, duoprop, interior in great shape, but the gelcoat is pretty faded. Its dark blue and doesnt have the "shine" I would expect.
Here is a picture. How difficult would it be to get this looking new again?
i was looking at 2006 190ssi, which is listed at 20', with a dry weight of only 2900. This is as low as some bayliners, reinell, etc.
i had always heard Chaparral was a high quality boat, but dry weight points otherwise.
Are these Chaps worth the extra premium over a "lesser" brand for a...
I am comparing lots of boats, but cant really tell if those with extended platforms include it in the specs. I am looking at a 2002 Sea Ray select 200 with a factory built in platform, and a 2001 SeaRay select 210 without the extended platform. Is the 200 going to significantly smaller inside...
Can anyone tell me the differences between the different SeaRay models?
I am looking at a 2004 SeaRay sport 230 hours, with wakeboard tower for $16.5k
2002 SeaRay Select with 126 hours for $13k
The seating configuration is a little different as far as the rear bench, but are there any other...
I am in the market for my first power boat and have looked at a couple this far that were 18', but just seemed to small for what I need. I am now looking at the 20-22' range bowrider. The brands above are the most common in my area, st least in my price range.
My question is how do these...
I am have been looking around for my first power boat the last few weeks. I have seen a few but none that I was overly impressed with.
I have a general question about the size/type of boat I should go for.
I am questioning whether to get a smaller 18-19ft bowrider with a V6 or to get a...
I am looking to purchase my first boat in the next few weeks/months. I have had a 26ft sailboat with an outboard the last 15 yrs, but never a power boat or anything that needs true winterizing.
We want something that the family can use a little easier to get around the lake and do more...
