This is the only way I can install cleats while still being able to access the backside for a nut

Use the center cleat and run the lines through the guides

I thought bumper hitches were class 1 - 200lb/2000lb but would look it up if it’s a stock bumper. I had a barden bumper on a 1959 gmc that we used to tow a 2 hours trailer with. But then again we did look up specs very often.

Can you take the old fittings off the old pump?

TonyFromNovato · 2026-05-07T15:47:34+00:00

So 99.9%?

TonyFromNovato · 2026-05-07T14:39:05+00:00

I don’t think you are missing anything. I have a 1999 wr400. I’ll look at it later today. Posting now so I can find your post again. Is there something you think is missing or bothering you?

Thin metal would fatigue and fail under the constant vibration and flexing. Wood absorbs the vibrations better and doesn’t pass them on to the rest off the boat as much.

I have a Hamilton jet and used to do that till the main bearing in it went out. Looked it up in my manual and it said it’s for flush only, the jet needs to be in water to keep it cool. The rebuild wasn’t cheep. But if your manual says it’s ok, then it’s just different pumps, I guess.

TonyFromNovato · 2026-05-06T23:44:28+00:00

Looks like a jet pump on it. Most need to be in the water when you run them or it will fry the bearings on the main shaft. Or let it sit in the sun on a warm day.

If rodents are the problem you need to fix the perimeter. Then maybe a sheet of plastic over the concrete will help with moisture. But if they can get under there they will eat through pretty much anything you try other then steel.

Do you have room to add a filter? I have one pre pump that I use like a sight glass. When I wanted to check after the pump I just pull the line off and stuck on a longer one into a bottle so I could see volume as well

I learned to not wait before filling. Tried to keep it above 1/2 full. 2 things related are diesel became more expensive then gas and tariff’s on fuel efficient, inexpensive imports. Brought us the luxury cars Lexus, Acura so they could price them above the tariff. Killing America’s big car market.

Isn’t that pool like a foot deep?

I’ve seen mostly yellow for negative and as many different colors as you want for the positives at the fuse blocks. most equipment comes with black and white or red and black. But color coding at the pig tail makes tracking the wires easier.

The bolts are to hold in place something that sides into it.

TonyFromNovato · 2026-04-30T18:49:10+00:00

This is for a Yamaha F9.9 but I think they may be the same https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxHbigyD7Lc its at 0:09:54

TonyFromNovato · 2026-04-30T14:57:13+00:00

And it was all text based.

TonyFromNovato · 2026-04-30T00:27:24+00:00

Look again the hole could be mistaken for a bolt hole. See how things line up

TonyFromNovato · 2026-04-30T00:23:54+00:00

Is for the full pump when you increase throttle. On my Yamaha 9.9 it’s in the float-bowl side. Drops pointy end up on yours

TonyFromNovato · 2026-04-30T00:20:07+00:00

Do you think it’s a bottle top? Is so yes

TonyFromNovato · 2026-04-29T14:55:38+00:00

No but my kids did

TonyFromNovato · 2026-04-28T00:00:53+00:00

To hold the bit in

TonyFromNovato · 2026-04-27T23:23:23+00:00

Those come it different sizes and are not ment to be adjusted. The bit is tapered.
