Anyone ever seen something like this happen? It's on my power steering hoses, in a couple spots, just above the outdrives. There's nothing around the hoses that could hit them and cause this. My mechanic is replacing them, but he said they are a two-ply type of hose that the inner part was not punctured. There are no visible leaks so I agree with him, but I told him to replace them anyways. I don't need them busting while coming across the bay at night time. Just thought I'd see if anyone else has ever seen this happen.

It is with great sadness that I have decided to sell my PowerPlay... Due to financial issues its best if I free up some payments

good luck with the sale,,,,looks like you maintained it with a open check book,,,
I always liked the lines of a PP,,way ahead of its time,,way ahead..

I love how you've updated the bolsters and cockpit carpet...that adds value right there! Will be a quick sell for you I'm sure and you'll be back on your feet financially in no time with the coin that'll bring!

Just saw this on ebay, seems like a steal of a deal if someone is looking for a 290!

There was no water in the oil at all.
When i was doing the oil change in the fall thats when i noticed the crack. I did take a chunk out of the skeg on my very first outing the first year and I had it repaired and put on stainless skeg protectors.
The welding shop told me that the lower was welded on before, probably from a previous incident.
Im not sure if i should weld it up or replace the housing.

This same issue happened to a boating buddy last year.
Best thing is as your doing, replace it and forget about it for a few years!

Good luck with the sale!
Maybe you will step up big time and get into a real Powerquest!!
Oh, does that PP come with a diesel Chevette??

The seller should pay $600 to someone to come get it!

If it wasn't welded before, I'd say get it welded, but I wouldn't take the chance with welding it twice. I'd swap it out.
