    Cheap floor and foam replacement for weekend.

    drill a hole in the floor the same size as shop vac nozzle, stick the nozzle in there and leave it running with the hole sealed. You'll be surprised how much water it picks up if that foam is saturated.

    There are different density's of foam, there are also foams that you mix part A and b.

    Alpha one gen one installing lower out drive

    another difference in the 2004, the water tube is plastic, there is no copper, just a plastic tube with a curve in it. There is still a white plastic piece that acts as a guide that attaches to the black sleeve with o-rings in it that goes on the impeller cover.
