Re: Dead in the water
While the boat's in "dry dock"...I thought I'd check the trim pump fluid level. What is the procedure. It's an 85 Wellcraft. I've got two dash mounted rocker switches...one labeled "Trim", the other "Tilt". If I open it to check/top off do I need to completely bleed the system. There's no issues currently besides a bad electrical connection which does not allow me to raise the unit using the "Trim" button...I must use the "Tilt" which I assume does the same thing.
As an aside...
Tell me if I have this right. When I winterize this motor(GM250), I DO NOT need to use any anti-freeze. As I understand it, I just need to open the petcock on the block, drain the exhaust manifold. Should I also disconnect the colant hoses?
Sorry for the ???'s...however the price for poor/lazy maintenance is too high in my opinion...comes from my aviation side I suppose!
Thanks again
