    73 sleek craft engine cover

    Does anyone know where I can find an engine cover for a 73 sleek craft executive. I saw a fiberglass one on cl but it was gone in a second. I would like a fiberglass cover. It covers a 455 olds so it takes up the back of the boat. I think it's around 4 feet by 6 feet. I could build a new cover...

    No Fuel to the engine

    Engine bogging down

    After running my 455 olds in my jet boat for about 45 minutes the engine starts to bog down like it's starving for fuel. I have replaced the fuel ines and fuel pump. It may be running hot, not sure if the water temp gauge is right. It will eventually stall and I have to sit for 5 minutes then it...

    Olds 455 hard in dipstick

    I have a 455 olds Hardin that seems to not have a Dipstick. I cannot find it anywhere. I have it at a marine mechanic now and he said some of the 455's were made without a Dipstick. Is this true? How do I check the oil level if this is true?
