2007 - new to me Stingray boat GLP-E Last ditch effort to fix this myself before joining the lineup at dealer which means my "new" boat will be back mid July- August if I'm lucky :-( Plugs 1 and 4 foul black almost instantly. Previous owner has popped the tamper proof covers and messed with...

Impeller changed, half a fin missing (narrow piece- 3/8 strip - top half of a fin). Pulled hoses... no sign of it.... tried the dish soap.

How about hand diswashing soap? It's early season at the cottage, not fully stocked. Yes I miss the olive oil myself.. And the hand cream... I actually brought it here because it was glycerine based which is what Volvo Penta specified for lubricating the impeller. Just not sure if it was a...

Excellent responses than you!

I apologize, I thought that was directly related. Thank you for the clarification.

Finally stopped raining so did compression test .. all good! Black plugs on cyl 1&4. Spark good, Anyone know how I should proceed?

I'm sorry, I don't understand, but I would like to know because there is some loose play when I move the SX outdrive when it's out of the water, and I was wondering if this could be the gimbal bearing, or as the guy I bought the boat from said... "that's normal with power steering"...?
