    I think it's combination of a few. Got first overheat while idling out of the creek. Shut it down waited a few, started it back up and reved the engine. Once it came back to idle overheat alarm went off. (poppet valve im guessing) Then got her up on plane and after about 30sec alarm went...

    Don’t change your thermostat

    Hopefully you ordered the gaskets as well. The thermostats do not come with them.

    WEELS ON THE BOAT GO ROUND AND ROUND

    The viscosity of the gear lube is all that is turning the props when the shifter is in neutral. 2. you should not start your engines before you are in the water unless you have either muffs or flush ports connected to water. The impeller does not like being run dry.

    Mounting a crab puller to a 209 Fisherman gunnel

    I would not trust it in those filler panels. Im sure there is a reason for them being there. I would find a solid fiberglass place to install. Big bluefin you will want a heavy duty rod holder thru bolted with backing plates. Likely the same with the pot puller. Factory rod...

    Grady white instrument panel

    You can even find a low hour ox66 for cheap. Especially if normal rotation is the problem engine.
