The earmuffs don’t push enough water through the engine is what you’re finding. Maybe the seal isn’t good enough or the rubber isn’t the right size for the intake. Use the bucket and you ought to be ok (assuming the impeller didn’t overheat and burn up too)

I think you want a crab puller with a davit that will go to the deck floor - not mounted on the gunnel. there would be a cylinder stainless sleeve mounted to the floor for the davit to slip into and have just a brace on the gunnel. ill try to find a better picture of what a prior owner did on...

Personally I think that boat looks great and would be worth repower. Agree on checking transom and getting done at the same time if needed (maybe fuel tanks if alumn) and it’ll last another 20 years. Good luck with the weather this week.

Agree, half ass smear job of sealant was not an effective fix whoever tried in the past

Nice work, enjoy

Your impeller might not be pushing water. When was the last time the lower unit was dropped and a fresh impeller installed? Is it pushing a stream of water through the tell tale?

I’d definitely try what seasick suggested. Go with very high grit sandpaper

Mix vinegar and water in a spray bottle

Perhaps butyl tape would work well for this purpose

Read your manual for the boat cover to cover. And probably the engine manual too. leave a case of waters on board too maybe a box of granola bars. And sunblock, even if you don’t need it, someone will. For PFDs I like the smaller kayak style but many people like the auto inflatable pfds since...

Would I be concerned about that if I was in your shoes? Yes absolutely. Looks like a patch job, who knows how well done

I have a Bernina - it’s vintage but pretty quality machine. Got it for $100 on CL and has worked on a variety of projects so far.

If you decide to try yourself, can make it easier with a proper fid size. Get the splices as tight as you can. Use a hot knife to cut the line and use electrical tape to keep the strands tidy. When I cut line, I wrap with tape first then cut straight through the tape and line with a hot knife...

1/3 out 1/3 back 1/3 reserve. Don’t overthink it.

Might try a sea foam treatment to clear out some gunk

I’d try a good penetrating oil (kroils brand for example). Rig something to catch any parts below you that might drop (like an upside down umbrella or tarp, also an oil pan for any oil drips). Bring a good lever to help you. Secure your boat so you are as stable as possible on your feet. Good...

Nice work

Yes there is a reservoir for the oil. I use atf. Your seals for the pistons may need to be replaced, or periodically you may have to fill up the reservoir.
