I used up about 30 gallons of water in the fuel. A customer had a leaking fuel fill and said pump it out, clean tank, and dispose of the fuel. Pumped it into a drum, let it sit. Took a sample in a glass jar and put it outside, let it freeze. The fuel was good on top, so I simply put the barrell...

Had that happen on a chevy 350. The nuts were wore out, replaced them and the issue went away.

Check the transducer. Some are wired directly to the battery, and they do make a ticking sound.

Or just install some quick hasps to the lower cover, unclip and remove instead of taking screws out or drilling holes.

Never seen a boat mechanic run out in the ocean down in the engine compartment, but I guess he got to see everything under load. I do that quite often.

I simply make sure the battery is fully charged and unhook the ground. Leave it in the boat and let it be. In spring hookup, top off charge and go boating. Weather get's to -40 at times. 6-7 years the battery is in need of replacement.

Well, we do run the non toxic anti freeze through at our marina. Not only to make sure the motor is safe, but also to protect ourselves from buying the customer a new motor/heat exchanger, or other parts if something get's missed. My stuff at home get's nothing but drained.

I kept the plugs and the impeller in a zip loc bag zip tied to the steering wheel when I needed to winterize What? I never remove the impeller in the fall. It's going to be replaced in a few years anyway, why remove it?

The rod is usually stainless steel, they don't wear much, But the bushing's do. We did a much bigger one, replaced the bushings; Might have to have them machined. We also added nylon sleeves to each side of the keel that were attached to the bushing. Think nylon washers, only very large. I had...

Pull both. Head gasket kits come with both anyway. And you will have the comfort of knowing both sides were done properly.

Who shipped it? The shipper should be responsible for damaged goods, and it should not have been accepted from them. We do that, it gets shipped back to the business and a new one arrives packaged better and good.

I think you will have access the inside and see just what rivits/cracks are leaking.

Try pulling a motor out of a van... lol

Looks like they engineered the Volvo pod drives to an outboard. I do like the service features without taking out of the water. But the price.....

Any pics?

I make sure they are fully charged, unhook the neg, and put them away. Top off in spring and go boating/lawnmowing/atving.....ect, ect ext. No issues and we get to20-30 below. If one of my batteries fails in the spring it's due to the fact it's 6-8 years old.

There is a number stamped in the casing. remove the cable and look.

My commute has been about 5 blocks for the last 14 years. They are out there also. The dude that slammed on his brakes to let someone cross the street in the middle of the block, not in a crosswalk. Dang near rear ended him. Then the one about 5 years ago that ran a stop sign and t-boned me...

Did you check inside the boat to see if something is stuck inside?

They may have forgot to put it on, It was laying on the boat and fell off on the way home. Most gas caps are attached with a chain to the inside of the filler so it don't get lost in the lake. You should be able to figure out the thread count and diameter with a bit of research, and get one from...
