Re: Help....assembling today...water tomorrow....
"I not 100% sure but it looks like a weep hole if the water pump goes bad it will leak out there."
This is what I thought it was......but the weep hole in the impeller housing is a 1/16th or less...anyway I plugged it with JB and assembled it all using sealer in all the right places and went to the dock at Erie thats "Lake Erie" one of the top fisheries in the good ole USA.
This was my 1st launch with this boat, I also run a 1959 18" Lyman with a 1961 75 Johnson and a 1957 Cadillac 16' aluminum with a 1967 40 Johnson or 2 1955 10 hp Johnson.....
Well I fired her up and went back to check things out and saw I left a draincock open on the manifold and before I got there water was sraying out like a pressure washer....well almost. She ran Like a charm.
I sent a pic to a guy I deal with up at Saginaw Bay he's going to get back to me tomorrow.I'll post what he says. And a pic also.
Thanks for all replies and help !!!
