I appreciate your input, but you need to understand. I used to work on cars and boats. I’m trying to get verification of something. I’m pretty sure Zach accurate already. When manufacturers make engines, they usually stay consistent for a few years this way when they make parts for that block, they can sell a variety of manifolds or different parts to many people
If you change the engine block every year, then you’re in for a nightmare because you’ll be making different parts every year
The other thing you need to understand is we’re here because we don’t wanna hire a mechanic. It doesn’t make sense to come here and then hire a mechanic unless you wanna make sure you’re not getting ripped off. We’re here to learn how to fix and take care of things ourselves.
Mechanics I purchased two boats that were maintained at a boat marina and when I got a hold of the boat, I couldn’t believe some of the stupid things that were done to that boat and surprise these mechanics actually had jobs
I also picked some brains of some mechanics on an issue. I was having where the boat would run for 20 minutes and then die and then 20 minutes later run again. They told me they said the carburetor they told me to check the fuel pump. It was the resistor wire, not doing its job by lowering the voltage to the coil, causing the coil to overheat and fail. I figured that on my own. Now there are two people on this form that pointed me in some direction of the coil.
What I’m saying is don’t always think that a mechanic is the end all all of knowing things sometimes you’ll find that people that went through things like this place will give you better advice.
I will say though thank you for reading my post and giving me a suggestion. I appreciate that.
