Take it to a good weld shop and have it done the right way!!!!

I will second that also, Plexus!!!

You might want to check into a product called Fluid Film. Look it up on the web. I have been using it at work for about five months now and love it. We have been buying it from NAPA.

sludge You need to take that tank out of the boat and clean it real good. while you have the tank out you will see the filter behind the tank hooked to the oil pump. There are probably little wire ties on the oil lines, these have to be cut to separate the hose when taking the tank out. At this...

Thanks for your input, I was beginning to think some of them were thing I was crazy!!! Nothing like a wire that has no strands left inside!!

The problem as far as I am concerned has been solved. I cut the tube from one end to the other on the very bottom when I was inspecting wires. After wiring was repaired I wire tied the whole length of wires and cables about every six inches. Then I put the tubing back on with the slit on the...

Hey Boy's think and say what you want what you see is how my boat came from Grady to the Dealer and is how I bought it in 1997!!! How was I to know at that time that there would be a problem down the road. I do remember seeing it and not exactly liking how it was done. I'm just pointing out what...

To me it is quite easy as to how the water got in. As you look at the picture you can see that the one piece tubing was short of reaching the motor by about one foot so they took a piece of tubing slit it and put it over the wires and cables. It left places for water to enter the one piece...

My boat is a 1997 and is stored inside my barn when not in use. I fish Lake Erie, so we are talking fresh water and 13 years. So the question is how long has it been holding water, hard to say. my point is it should of never happened in the first place. To me that hose should have drain holes so...

Water Pump If you can turn a wrench you may as well learn to do this job. First thing is to get a shop manual. Also make double sure that you have all of the bolts out before trying to seperate the lower unit!!

[/url][/img] Warning!!! Check out the hose that all of my cables and wiring go threw from the motor to the boat. Bad news is that from the factory they didn't make it to the motor in one piece and as a result there has been water holding in this hose for who knows how long. Caused wiring to...

Today I decided to cut the tubing off that all of the wiring, cables and hoses run threw from the motor to the boat sense it had water holding in it. Wanted to inspect the rest of the wiring and to make sure that hose will never hold water again. I found an other bunch of six wires that were...

What did I learn? Don't assume anything. Just because the rest of my wiring looked good it was what you couldn't see that had a problem. I had already checked my floats and I knew that the oil pump would run and the filter and check valve were replaced. All that was left was to trace the...

PROBLEM SOLVED !!!!! I set out today to check wires and the first ones that I checked were bad!!! Checked the wiring from the boat oil tank to the motor. Found that the black lead from the float was open. The bad spot was in the tubing between the boat and the motor where the wires run, it...

All wires from sensors go to the computer on the motor and the computer tells the oil pump when to run and when to stop. So if the floats are working and sending the signal to the computer we more than likely are looking at a computer problem. Also coming from the computer are all of the warning...

Ok here is the deal. I pulled the boat out of the barn tonight and put the muffs on. Lowered the oil tank on the motor to just above the alarm line. The tank in the boat is near full. Turned on the key and the tach lit up and went to center warning light or I think it is green. Oil pump would...

Freddy063, where did your info come from? Sounds like a lot of trim tab wires to me! I think pink is the warning horn and rpm reduction control. My motor is a 1997. After 96 I am told that the motor will have to be running for the test. I like the idea of removing the floats for the test. I need...

The plan will be to run the motor and slowly drain the oil from the motor tank and watch to see what warning lights show on the tach. Just trying to prove that the computer is bad or if there is an other problem as to why the transfer pump isn't working. I was hoping to get a idea as to how to...

kicker I have a kicker on with a single 225. If I had twins I wouldn't even think of a kicker. Alternate running one each time out. You will be much happier running that 150 than you will be with a kicker. Also if you need to go slower than you are you can always use drift socks on one or both...

I'm looking for the tach wires, what each one does so I can check and make sure the warning lights are working right!! Here are the colors Gy=Gray B/W=Black/White P= Pink O= Orange the above wires are in one 4 pin plug and harness G= Green Single wire G/R= Green/Red G/W= Green/White...
