    I went ahead and ordered the water gasket, thermostat and rubber ring for thermostat. Do you like Loctite aviation gasket sealant or Permatex aviation no. 3? Last thing to order.

    1977 35 hp not pumping

    I am referring to the gasket between the impeller and the plate. I replaced it. The marina only had the top one for sale. Bottom gasket (below metal plate) was in pretty great shape already.

    Not sure what to do next. I did the bucket test motor pumps good. I can water from the water tube up through a hose: good water flow: I start motor up in a barrel still 0 water. Any suggestions? I installed new water tube grommet, new gasket. Impeller was also just installed looks brand new.

    Leaking fuel tank

    I might need a second gasket under my fuel outlet. That wouldn’t shock me at all. Once again y’all have been super helpful. I’ll order the kit and replace the o rings. I’m sure YouTube video somewhere.

    Leaking fuel tank

    I don’t think gasket was damaged, but it is leaking under the unit. I cleaned all the old paint and lightly sanded both tank and unit to get proper seal. Could I add some compound to help seal it is this going to make it worse?

    Leaking fuel tank

    Yes! I guess the plunger isn’t sealing anymore when the tank isn’t connected. This is new since I cleaned the fitting itself.

    Leaking fuel tank

    Metal omc tank. Cleaned inside really well replaced gaskets. Now it’s leaking in multiple places I’m not sure why. Pretty simple process, not sure where I went wrong.

    benefits of side bunks..... are there really any?

    Friend of mine has them on his trailer. He loves them. Says they really help in current/chop. I don't have them on mine, and I don't see where i'd need them. I'd say probably a boat/trailer specific thing.

    Why is my gas orange?

    I got me a nice Moeller tank awhile back. I know I can happily use that if necessary. This is more of a nostalgia project to go with my 69 sportster
