    Changed Tstats 2000 200hp Saltwater series ,LOVE the easy maintenance!!

    Nothing wrong,no issues at all, just doing some pm so nothing does go wrong.I have had the motor 3 years and would have no idea when the stats were last changed.All clean inside the housing and old stats had minimal wear/corrosion .Charlie

    Water separater filter options

    Fuel water sep should be changed every season /spring UNLESS there is already a fuel/water issue ,a regular filter/sep will be more than effective.If an issue is suspected then the drain filter would be a good choice.BTW in my 30+ years of boating I have had only 1 issue related to a full...

    The motor prior to my purchasing it was a Bravo setup as I was told. The boatyard said that they would swap the coupler from my bad motor which I am certain had a good coupler.Charlie

    Nah,it starts and runs too well for that to be the issue but I am always in for new parts so maybe some new tune up parts but not expecting it to run any different .Charlie

    Yes never had any vibration until engine was replaced.Engine runs and idles perfectly.Starts immediately,extremely fresh looking motor .I checked it out thoroughly when it was sitting in the boatyards shop prior to purchase.Vibration only when drive is engaged and bumped up to above idle speed...

    Im getting spine marks however when I did test more carefully and removing the bar sloooolwy,the spline marks were pretty uniform.My previous attempt I believe this very heavy tool dropped a bit while pulling it out as soon as it exited the coupler and the weight in my hand transferred from the...
