according to this pic. you need to replace them.

loc-tite thread sealant fuel connections are not a make every day thing unless you have a quick disconnect fitting. the threaded connections get sealed with thread sealant (and that can include teflon tap)

buying a used boat for cheap is like buying a rusted hulk from a junk yard and trying to make it a daily driver. remember, the prior owner quit running the boat for a reason. the dash looks like it has sat outside in the elements for at least 20 years assume the transom, stringers and floor...

the videos were with 18" long elbows. at about 750 RPM, there was enough vacuum during the overlap cycle to pull the water vapor back in. it filled the exhaust manifolds up with water, just idling on the crate. I went with side exit exhaust. since I could no-longer use the captains call...

Worst case, shop vac the debris

OEM kit about $40

Going to name the boat "giant floating suckhole for cash currently sitting on a trailer" Seriously, expect to spend a minimum of $10,000 to restore it. $3k on the hull, $2k on the interior, $1-2k on the motor, $1-2k on the drive, and $1-2k on misc ( trailer, cabin, wiring, lights, etc). You...

If you are not mechanically inclined or electrically savvy like you say, take it to your local marine mechanic

Is the windshield flat or curved? If flat, your local glass shop or local plastic shop If curved......sell a kidney or take out a second mortgage and call TMS

here you go

so....... do I root for the Pack...... or the Bucs....... either way, will be drinking a few during the game.

the rogue would be a nice boat....:D...... however you will most likely need to rebuild the transom, rear foam boxes and, bulkhead just forward of the motor and the stringers in between.

I would shoot for 9.5:1 or less. as Scott stated, stock motor was 9.4:1 vortec heads allow you to run slightly higher compression than the combustion chambers prior with wet exhaust, stick to 270 degrees of duration of less with wet exhaust. or you need to go to a dry jacketed exhaust...

they are simply a spring loaded arm. been used since the 80's

The neutrasalt system may be plugged. Its a simple system, however requires the raw water pump to be pushing water to work.

you have to look and be ready. I scored a complete second 290DP from transom shield to lower for under $800 had to be in the right place in the right time.
