    Question on exposed hole after taking screw out

    I would venture to guess improperly sealed transducer holes are the leading cause of premature transom failure. Flat head screw, marine epoxy and a top coat of MarineTex is the proper way to fill the hole

    That is quite often the case. May be able to cut it to give you move clearance

    1999 Caravelle VDO Speedometer

    That’s called a paddle wheel speed sensor. Common, fairly generic item actually. The issues will be finding one with the right connector to suit your speedometer. Might be cheaper in the long run to purchase a gps driven speedo. Also much more accurate than a paddle wheel

    The right cooler

    Know lots about coolers.....nothing about Fun Ships It would help if you give the dimensions of the cooler you are looking for.

    How damaged are these threads.

    Tapered pipe threads. Not bad at all... Grind off the top distorted thread(s). Taper the end just a wee bit and it will thread right back on. Use pipe sealer if you need a water proof connection

    VRO Pump Failure

    Not sure how practical it is to mix 150 gallons of fuel at a time. Easier to refill a 3 gallon oil tank

    Impulse/Uniden depth gauge

    Transducers are consumables. The chances of it working are pretty small. Not to mention transducer connectors are not standardized between vendors. Matching a head to the transducer would tough. Easier and less risk to just replace the unit in its entirety

    Not necessarily. Mine was about 25% water when I swapped out the trim motor a couple of weeks ago. Still worked

    Little known salt water impeller housing

    What does “heavy duty” buy you? Is this a Chrysler specific issue? I run outboards in saltwater 300-400 hours a season. Easily 200 hours of that trolling. Never had cooling issues. If anything, I run too cold while trolling.

    Trim tab feedback

    Agree..... My 200 HP jumps right up on plane with a much bigger (22’-6”), heavier (#4,500) boat. I’m running hydraulic tabs but only use to adjust running angle and “lean” once up on plane

    How is that? A puller pushes on the end of the shaft

    remove woodruff from tapered shaft?

    By design you can’t over torque a taper fit. The nut simply keeps the hub from falling off the shaft. Removing a hub from a taper fit typically requires the use of a “puller” of some sort. As you have found you can go caveman and beat and pry the hub off at the risk of damaging other...
