I checked one it's fine. Can't imagine it pitting it's submerged in gear lube.

My problem is what I mentioned above, it's not shifting into neutral when the drive is mounted.

I had a bad u-joint in one of my extension boxes so I decided to replace everything. Bellows, u-joints, bearings, cables, water and drive lube lines. The boat is a '98. It was time.

I guess you can't compare apples to apples. I am not buying the windage comment given the cam lobe characteristics.

So are you going to run as is or get a new pump.

I don't disagree with anything Hardin says. It is improved over merc to address a common problem when fuel pumps go south.

I would say Hardin is giving you a circumvention to the problem not a fix. To suggest you need to treat one different than the other makes no sense. Both pumps should perform the same with the same...

There is only 2 places pressure can build in the pump reservoir, fuel pump or bad seal on the impeller side forcing water into the reservoir. That should be obvious based on the color of the oil.

You hear a lot of fuel pump failures diluting the oil reservoir. My next move is a block off plate and electric pump on both engines.

Surprised Hardin told you that. I have the same pump and they have an accomodation to vent the reservoir. There should be an 1/8 in. plug.

That's crazy, they are just being lazy. With a little effort they could find it out. Did you try NAPA? It was probably 1/8 pipe. They make adapters to step it up to work with your intake.

​​​​​​ You really just care about overheating. AutoZone should be able to tell you the heat range of that sender. That's what you want. One size does not fit all.

Actually I never checked. I took what he said at face value. I suspect it is because it appears to be straight out from the coupler.

I will take a look at everything you mentioned.

I am pretty sure I got all the grease fittings. I will go through all that before I pull the drive.

The drive is neutral mounted so please explain u-joints out of phase.
