PQ29- the first link fits the 290
PQ260- the second one fits the 280 and the 300, it tapers up in the rear

Thank you!

Mike
did you leave the outdrives up during winter???

No, when I was washing and waxing the boat getting it ready for its winter sleep I noticed that there was a crack running the length of the bottom of the bullet.
I have no idea how long it has been like that.
I'm wondering if this a weldable repair or if I should change out the case??

What does that do???

Any water not able to drain out of the case can freeze, expand and split the case.

Mike, was the oil milky when drained? If cracked for very long water could be drawn in as the drive cools. Look for corrosion on the internals. If you don't know how the crack happened be sure to check everything to make sure you're not just fixing a result instead of a cause.:poopoo:

I see, thanks!

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..:lolhit:

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!:bunnydance:

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??:lolhit:

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.

Replace it.

Some good advice on changing out the cases.
Thanks.

Finally getting ready...I think the ice is gone...got the new sunpad on
