Well for once I am top of things.. A first , I have to admitt. I finished my out drive a couple of weeks ago, was ready to go boating.. I pulle the truck to the Shell station for super Tuesday, save .06 a gallon on premium. Well the rear end in the truck couldnt take anymore.. better now than on a trip.. So I got the new rear end in the truck yesterday, finished up two outdrives and put a seal back on one of the trailer wheels, cause the new stuff didnt make it for the weekend.
So I am going for a ride this afternoon.. Just catching up on emails and such.. then off I go.
I hope all works out for You Mike!! and everyone else that is behind..

I got mine out. Tooled around and came back in. It was so friggin rough out that I forgot to look at the gauges. The temps were around 180! I went back and there was very little water comming out. But there was some. After about 15 seconds of being off plane, water started flowing and the temps came down. When the boat is on plane I don't have enough water flow to cool the engine. I looked at the angles of the pickup and I suspect that when the drive is trimmed down that the low water pickup isn't getting the water directed into it. I'm gonna have to order a transom pickup and have it shipped to the condo for installation at loto. Oh, I can't wait!
