Yep. Plenty of scratches on my back from that mfer lol

So lets see a pic of the clean oil cooler. What did you do to clean it?

Still working on them..First i back flushed them with high pressure water. Then i took a long brazing rod and poked the holes..That was time consuming. Then back flushed again. I plan on washing them out with on/off or muriatic acid. Waiting for new end caps now. I will post some pics when completed.

I would trade places with any of you Fountain guys when it comes to bilge clearance. That b!tch I work on leaves me laying across the top of the carburetor if I have to do seawater pump service. The only way I have that kind of room in front of mine is if I take the side panels off the cockpit and slide the rear seat forward about 3 feet. In fact, I have installed wing nuts on the side panels so this is an easy operation. Tired of standing on my head!

Glad you found your problem. How refreshing when it turns out to be something simple and inexpensive - a rarity in the HP boating world.

Neat job, What brand are they?. I also notice different fuel filters

Isn't the fire extinguisher a little too low to put out a fire [ATTACH=CONFIG]544608[/ATTACH]

the idea is when it does go off it fogs the engine compartment with that stuff that's in there that it starves the fire of oxygen.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]544629[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]544630[/ATTACH] Got them pretty clean with high pressure water. A brazing rod and some muriatic acid.

I'm wondering what the water pressure is going to be now...Its amazing it was at 17lbs with a clogged cooler...

Looks great

Probably back to what the factory test sheet says.
