    Yeah, sometimes stuff happens. Did you run a tap through the holes to clean them out?

    Boat is put away for winter. What to do every day ?

    Retired but go run the lift in the fall and spring a couple days a week. Hunting season started for bow hunting, but haven’t been out yet as the wife just got a hip replaced two days ago. Been playing nurse.

I did all the stuff he had done also. The last thing I told him was possibly...

    In reality,you spray an adhesive on,then apply the flocking by sprinkling it on the surface. Been a lot of years since I’ve done it.

    Good idea, also you could get that spray on felt stuff to line the upper holes to cushion the glass a bit to?

    I built this table from that same flooring. I added the mahogany to the edges to hide the plywood veneer. It also has a sister table slid under it. Six coats of varnish sanded between each coat, then final coat is a rattle can of Matt Finnish to make it rather smooth.

    Mercruiser 3.0 help

    As stated, if there is fuel in that line, the pump is bad. On a car that line doesn’t exist, a car will dump fuel on the ground or into the oil. On a boat if it did that it would put fuel in the bilge and cause an explosion And fuel in your oil. Be sure to replace with a marine fuel pump.

    How should propeller “leakage / water seepage at the shaft seal” be addressed?

    I have to assume it’s an inboard. Where the shaft goes through the hull, that’s called a stuffing box, or some are called a drip less depending on the style that’s installed. Yes, some pictures will help with the diagnosis.

    Do waverunners have low oil pressure shutoff system?

    This is exactly why you check/service any equipment you have over before using for the day. I hate it when someone says it just quit. Ask if was doin anything unusual and they shrug their shoulders.

    Prop Pocket Faring Cracks

    I would walk away from that. There’s more going on that you can’t see. Even if the current owner has it fixed the next guy is going to have serious issues with that boat. You said it lives in the water, that water has wicked its way into unknown places. You and your family’s safety is more...

    Mercruiser 3.0 won't "lock in"

    Pressure test and if it passes, you “might” be ok for a couple days of tooling around. No guarantees. If it gets worse and destroys the gears/drive, it’ll get more expensive from there. Unless you just get a new sei drive. I’ve personally seen some that destroy the case when things go south. I...

    I’m not positive with the picture of the gears you put up. They look a bit pitted?
