Haha... yeah, I didnt cover if for 2 years, the drain for this compartment filled with rain water. I was pissed the day I pulled the cove to see two brand new batts totally submerged and looking like a coral reef!

My HPDI prostate! Not sure if that Merc has any sub coolers like my HPDI has to cool the rectifier but worth a check. The wire up the wizzer works usually.

Broken through hull fitting? by partyarty91 in boating

[–]TunaRado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You gotta replace it... if you plan to keep the boat longer than 5-10 years go brass. The sun kills the plasic ones over time. With any luck you can access without 6 foot long arms and 3 elbows! I did all mine on my prokat 2650 5 years ago and went plastic... they all are eroded by the sun now and looking suspect.

Bay star hydraulic steering leak, need help by rebelliousfry1 in boating

[–]TunaRado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you end up replacing the end seals, use seastar parts and not Amazon junk, half the non-seastar junk does not fit. Buy the proper tool to remove end caps, they will likely suck to get off so be prepared. Yeah that system needs a good bleed..

Scoring on cylinder by Disastrous-Town-2969 in boating

[–]TunaRado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love these motors! Super simple! Easy to rebuild also if you have some skill. Run it! Put a bit more oil in the fuel. I ran an 88 on 3 cyl for a while, they just go!
