    Thermostat housing hole.

    Sea rider, back to this hole sir. There is a larger water passage hole on the right side back behind this small pin hole. I have a wire brush on a drill that I ran in there a little and wondering if I made the hole. I’m just wanting to make sure that pin hole is supposed to be there before I...

    Lake Bastrop in Texas

    I’ll be going soon. Had to take care of a with my boat. I got more information. The bass seem to be always good and I’m told catfish aren’t bad. When I go I’m going to catch some shad and drift for catfish. I’ll take some punch bait Incase the shad are scarce.

    Thermostat housing hole.

    I drop the boat off this morning and gave him my number. The drive way sure looked empty today. Finally I couldn’t wait any more and dropped by just to check on it while I was in town. Lol They were just pulling it in the shop. I hung out and watched this man try everything. Heat didn’t budge...

    Thermostat housing hole.

    I chickened out and contacted a high performance auto shop near by that also does machine work. Taking her there in the morning. Depending on how long it takes I’m looking at $35 to $75. I’ll let you know how it turns out. I want to get past this and back on track.

    Thermostat housing hole.

    Just the head broke. After removing the other bolt I had to pry a little to get the cover off. I’ve been soaking it with penetrating oil. I tried 2-6mm nuts jammed together but it didn’t budge. Since there’s a good bit of bolt to grab I have a stud remover coming tomorrow. I’ll take your advice...

    Thermostat housing hole.

    Thanks again for all the information. You’ve helped me a lot. I was waiting to scrape out the housing unit I found out about that hole. If it wasn’t supposed to be there I didn’t want to make it worse. I have a new thermostat and gasket for it. Fighting a broken bolt right now from removing the...

    Thermostat housing hole.

    Fresh water as far as I know. There was paint still on the bolts like it’s never been changed. The gasket is going to have to be scrapped off for the new one. The water passage hole is in the back of the housing on the right side just can’t see it in the picture. Thermostat it self had some...

    Replacing carburetor hoses with tygon ?

    That’s the one I found. I was just concerned about running the pre mixed fuel through it. Thanks for confirming and all your help. Now I have to find out about the thermostat housing I posted a picture in another thread on here. The hits just keep on coming. The housing has a small hole behind...

    Thermostat housing hole.

    Thought I’d start a new thread since this is a new subject for me. 1992 40 MSHQ Yamaha. I’ve been doing a lot of maintenance catching up since I bought the boat. Also learning as I go. Today I was replacing the old thermostat and I noticed this hole in the housing behind the thermostat. I need...

    Replacing carburetor hoses with tygon ?

    It is a 40 MSHQ. The three cylinder. The parts break down on line shows the OEM filter when I m searching by model. Like I have said I’m learning as I go. That’s why I waited to splice the wix into the new line. I’m paranoid I’m doing something wrong. I sure appreciate this forum. It’s...

    Replacing carburetor hoses with tygon ?

    All of the injector parts are gone and I have to premix my fuel using a portable tank. Will the OEM work with premix? I really appreciate all the advice you’re giving me by the way. Thank you. And yes it’s before the fuel pump.

    Replacing carburetor hoses with tygon ?

    When I bought the boat it had no filter at all so I picked up the wix so it would have something. First thing I noticed was little black specs so that started the replacement of the fuel lines and I’ve been learning as I go. I found out it was oil injected and all of that has been removed and...

    Replacing carburetor hoses with tygon ?

    It’s a Sierra and isn’t supposed to be bad on restriction. At least that’s what I was told when I called there support and told them what I was doing. The inline is a Wix with a screen . I think it’s automotive.

    Replacing carburetor hoses with tygon ?

    Thanks Sea Rider for the input. I looked and the inline is a wix automotive. I’ve no on some forums people saying they can screen the oil out of the 2 cycle mix. Is that possible?

    Replacing carburetor hoses with tygon ?

    Update: I ordered oem hoses for under the cowling because of some 90 degree turns. I have one more question. The new fuel line is 5/16” and I installed a 10 micron fuel water separator. The line under the cowling is 1/4” with a screen inline filter. Since I’ve installed the water separator...

    Trailer needs attention on used flat bottom.

    Mine came with carpet and the slicks on top. Instead of changing carpet then I’ll just remove it.

    Trailer needs attention on used flat bottom.

    I’ll have to goggle how to extend mine. We have a small private lake with a ramp here in our subdivision. Hopefully it’ll catch some rain in the next couple of days and I can float my boat while working some on the trailer.
