    Listing to port side

    OK so its not unusual in your area. If its for putting the sneak on trout in small rocky streams was it actually designed to plane ? Im thinkin an electric motor would be better for sneaking up on Trout .... unless the "shallow rocky river " is also the local white water rafting hot spot...

    Listing to port side

    I cannot for the life of me see why that WOULDNT list to port . Looks to me like the add ons are an attempt to fix the issue . Dunno if its just the pic but that motor looks huge and I suspect that its way heavy . The way you describe the listing getting worse as speed increases suggest a...

    Looks OK to me , once you have cleaned it up a bit and dressed the gasket surfaces . next place I would look now would be the exhaust cooling cover , could be leaking exhaust gas into the cooling water , and keep your eyes peeled for anything that might be a hole to prevent air locks hasnt...

    Yes I thought about the strong pee after I posted , but cleaning out all them passages sure cant hurt . If your using one of them IR thermometers you need to mix in a bit of common sense, they dont read well off shiny surfaces ( I have a 50 deg c difference in temp between the cast iron...

    Have you cleaned out the tube that takes the water from the pump up to the motor . It take not much crud building up on the inside to slow down the water ( long gun cleaning kit is brilliant for this )

    Deep Cycle Battery not good for starting??

    Sounds deceptive if those numbers are manufacturing dates . Dunno about you guys in the states but here lead acid batteries are usually freighted dry to the battery shop ( transporting dangerous goods in NZ has got a bit overregulated ) and then filled with acid at the time of sale . The...

    Rotate Impeller on Occasion

    The "cold water " is probly quite significant in some places , round here the only water that freezes is way to small for a boat.... like puddles in the driveway . None of our lakes or rivers freeze so its not something we would give any real thought to in New Zealand .

    Sometimes banging on the head of the bolt can sorta help shock them loose , and if you can get at it a bit of heat around where the bolt threads go into the mid section. If you can drill a piolet hole in the bolt head get a 3/8 or 7/16 ( I converted this to inches for you Trumpets :D )...

    " I think there is one final bolt hidden underneath the trim tab holding up the LU" Aint that hard to understand , sounds like OP believed with all his heart and soul , before God an all that , that he had found all the LU bolts only to later discover the one bolt remaining under the trim...
