Another boating season behind me........Pulled the boat today.
Changed the oil, pulled outdrive, fogged engine and, ran 5 gals of RV AF through the raw water side of the cooling system.
May have seen a slight amount of gear lube in the bellows.....will need to have the OD presure tested. Other than that everything went smoothly, took me and my 2 boys around 4 hours to pull the boat, clean it, winterize it, cover it and, put it in the backyard.
My season was pretty much uneventful. Thought I had a coolant leak.....turned out to be a loose radiator cap on the heatexchanger. Thought my alternator was going.......turned out to be a loose belt. That was pretty much it I am happy to say!
Have ~140hrs on my Rapido Vortec......running strong with no problems.
Hope everyone has a short off season...........
I plan on replacing my bellows (not looking forward to it) and maybe a switch panel in the off season.
