SB,

That’s great and all. If you can get to the full tube. On my PQ, I have an access port on the floor, and I can get the hose clamp loose and move the hose on the neck a bit, but I can’t get it...

DD,

I don’t believe a return to tank is in the cards. My question was just in the actual physical location of the lines; keeping them away from any sources of heat, so that the fuel doesn’t get...

DD,

Back to the filter head. Got it. So reroute that line so that it doesn’t get hot, and we should be good?

He has the pump kit on order, BTW….

Thanks. Brad.

Griff,

I see that there are two output lines on the HP FP. I’d assume one of them is a return line. Where does it go in OEM configuration?

And will rerouting the supply line where it won’t get...

Guys,

Sorry for the detail, but it may be of some value to the OP….

So we’re working a theory…. The fuel line converts from rubber hose coming off the mechanical pump to 3/8” hard line, then...

Care to explain how this kit fixes the problem?

I have a friend with a new-to-him 502, and it’s suffering the vapor lock issue on a regular basis. It would appear this kit is compatible,...

PWW,

Pretty sure I can see play in both pins, but I could be wrong. But, again…. My concern is with the potential for play in your pivot pin. The pin that the drive steering swivels on. That lean...

PWW,

What is inducing the movement? Are you wiggling the drive from the outside or are you sawing back and forth on the wheel? Do you have any up/down play in the gimbal pin?

Thanks. Brad.

Sabo,

The 23M+ is apparently NOT the prop of choice. I was not present, but buddy reports he ran 56GPS @5200RPM, where he was running 60GPS @48-4900RPM with the 24B. Not sure how the prop changed...

Guys,

We don't get down nearly as often as we'd like, but I've been watching the waters when we do. I'm amazed at how little crud is in the water this year, compared to last. I just hope it holds...

To be honest, I can't say for sure that there is no potential for galvanic corrosion between the transom assembly and the fitting. But, realistically, aside from some minimal contact between...

JBraun,

SB,

I’ve seen this a couple times. The main reason for a limit switch, in my opinion, is to prevent putting the U-joint in too much of a bind while underway. Personally, on about every boat I’ve...

Lars,

They are made from 316ss; both parts and the welding rod. It’s pretty well impervious to just about everything. Unless you’re boating in hydrofluoric acid, you’re good.
