Plus, most gas cans these days aren't vented. That would be a problem with this thing.
If they made the adapter with a vent on it, it may work well, but flopping around in the boat? I don't think so. USCG may have a problem with it, too.
Any hot running drive / lower will do that. Bravo 3's are famous for it. Just calcium deposits.
Any calcium (hard water) spot remover will work as long as it's not too acidic and won't harm the paint. Heck, even vinegar will remove hard water stains.
The Kodiac setups are pricey, but give you those coating / material (including S/S) options and are top tier.
Those are what I am going with when the time comes to change out the ones I have.
Go to eTrailer to get an idea on the actuators and brake components selections
Just an example, I have an OEM B3 2.20 drive w/ 28 pitch props and tops out right about 60 mph (under normal water conditions) and RPM sits right at 4600/4650 RPM at WOT on the 454 Mag
I don't think so. Those lines are closed off via valves in the pump. If not, the pistons wouldn't lock in position.
The tank cap only closes off the "no pressure" tank that feeds the pump / control valves.
A little suggestion: if heating a hydraulic line, disconnect one end so the expanding fluid has somewhere to go. Have seen those lines rupture, sometime in a violent fashion, when heated and sealed at both ends.
Should be 2 "sensors". Actually, one is a switch for the high temp alarm. Usually has a red body and normally on the stbd side of the stat housing and a tan/blue wire. The other one is the gauge "sensor" and normally on port side of housing and has a tan wire.
How old is the fuel? Is it ethenol free or regular pump gas. Us not knowing what you have is hard to call. But, If you don't know condition of the fuel, then the safe money is on getting it out and putting in new.
That was a common mod on those drives in the 80's (had one on a pre-Alpha). Mercruiser made the kit for it. Round tank to mount inside engine compartment, thru-hull fitting for the hose and hose to connect to the vent plug.
