    that is surface scratches in the gel coat, not rub marks or transfer marks. you aint wiping that off if you look at it closely, it will have the suface texture of dry skin (where the polished layer was removed) I would start with 600 grit wet-dry sand paper, then 800, then aquabuff 1000...

    Trim pump not working in down position

    the AQ 290 series VP drive has the pins for the rams accessable only when the engine and drive are pulled (almost to the point of removing the transom shield. ) the easiest way to repair them is on the boat.

    Trim pump not working in down position

    Yesterdays's celebration of another successful celestial star orbit netted a 13 gallon fresh water tank and a transom swim shower.... will go hand in hand with the pump, fill, and a few other bits squirreled away in my parts bins will break away a bit to work on the boat.

    Coolant Disappearing, need help

    If there is a leak, the motor probably can not make pressure. If it does, then the system is drawing in the raw water vs coolant from the puke tank Have your heat exchanger pressure tested (and repaired if needed)
