Not sure about best way to deal with the plug issues but just wanted to comment about using the 50/50 Auto Trans Fluid & Acetone; it is very powerful be careful using. Use a good container or will go right through the bottom, I know. Best bolt remover I've seen, usually on let sit short while to...

Very minor concern, don't have easy access to the boat for a while ..does anyone know what size are windshield clips (example pic attached) which secure the convers top, 3/4 or 7/8". The boat pic does not show exactly the spot the clips are installed, purpose o show boat style / vintage...

Thanks Andy, the broken windshield pic does bring back bad memories. The puzzle yet to be solved is how do I open up the frame to insert the replacement glass. I don't think will be a case of undo the screws.

Thank you Andy, will have to look some more for the other thread, no luck so far (do you have a date I could search y that). The frame issue aside from the screws being frozen, the screws down close to the "daskboard" no room to drill out the old screws and maybe retap for new screws. Maybe can...

The windshield on the pilot side got broken, can't seem to find the replacement glass anywhere and also looks like a tricky job. Doe not look easy to get the frame apart to insert the replacement glass. Any one have experience with this? Pic attached.

Attractive ideas to fill shifter opening- Diamond plate? Wood? My replacement top mounted shifter has a much smaller footprint than the original. What would be a nice looking way to hide the oversized opening? Anyone have example pics? Thanks -j

The base which holds my anchor / masthead 3 color nav light broke. Thought be good time to change over to new LED pole and base. It is no doubt original 1988 Parker light with traditional bulbs. It one of those poles where you plug in the pole then screw a plastic cap down over the base to...

Removing and installing the fuel pump is very easy. The pump is held by only one bolt, which have found does not even need to be removed. Merely pull the pump away from the engine and the round headed bolt will slip right thru the rubber collar. Reinstalling, just push the pump over the bolt...

Changed the fuel pump - problem seems solved. Bought at Boat.net -- one time delivery and better price ($603) than others. I did make sure to only order the pump by itself to keep the order simple as possible. However, geting the bolt of the old pump still not figured out. There is basically...

Which seals in particular if you had to guess - ? :?: Easy - difficult? Would not mind changing some gaskets and a seal, sure they are due for a change. Thanks- j

The engine while tied at the dock (end of last season) with motor in up position took a beating (cleat pulled.) Snapped skeg and now as I get her ready see leaking lower unit oil, which is now greenish in color. I have done very little maintenance on the lower unit over the years. Did replace...

A gentleman from another site suggested maybe try the fuel lift pump first. Example part # 500885. Thoughts?

Is there a way to test the fuel pump? Would a test be done on the engine or remove it? Can't seem to find any rework kit, is there a replacement diaphram for a pump - part number 5004429.

The new primer bulb was a problem but not 'the' problem. Does seem to be fuel pump related. Starts ok then fails, will choke out once a load is applied (put in gear while tied at the dock.) How involved to remove pump and rework? Cant afford a new pump right now. I do hear a wrirring...

$750 for a new pump, I think I'll try a repair if that is the problem.

Is there a check I could do for the pin point leak in the fuel pump diaphram. What it the repair like? Regards,

Whatever needs to be done I’ll have to do. Could you kindly comment on the troubleshooting pic of the gas can - is this a good test to isolate issues. That hose in the pic is band new (first time using it was for that test.) For the purposes of the test the vent would be no issue (right?)...

Replacement bulb pic attached - good? Does this troubleshooting (pic) eliminate vent issues? Point exit end of bulb upwards - in other words - the arrow direction toward the engine point up? Thanks for any guidance. JET

I can hear the pump fill when first turning the key Bent. I actually did try the gas cap off and disconnected the vent at the hull. Still stalled out - no chnage. It did look very corroded in fact broke off as I poked around with it. I did not disconnect the 5/8 vent hose at the tank or...

Prep boat at home, running off the hose seems fine, run for 15 minutes. Trailor to marina for launch then stalls while underway in 5 minutes. Sample of gas looked fine. Noticed bulb collapsing – replaced that and ran a new fuel line straight (bypassing fuel line section going to the below deck...
