If I were to repair this pump, what's everyone's thoughts on the wear and tear as to the area the impeller sits, should it do any damage spinning away?
Always, this is just standard winterization/yearly maintenance.
I'm going down the route of preventive maintenance for a 20 year old boat so that I'm not stranded somewhere next season.
Hi,
My boat and engine is turning 20 years old and I wondered if I should change, repair, replace anything in particular.
Or as my gramps keeps telling me - if it aint broke don't fix it.
Boat is 3.0 4 cylinder inboard volvo penta SX-M leg with 250 hours salt water use.
I've replaced in the...
fair points, it's a little more expensive in the UK than 200 bucks unfortunately - it's £430.

Thanks
Interesting, possible a badly made hull at the time, just luck of the draw?
I've seen open molded boats only a few years old requiring new transoms think it was a regal at the boatyard.
Hi all,
I have a VEC hull and notice some spider cracking wanted to get glastron to take a look as per the VEC 'lifetime warranty'.
Is Glastron still operating, can't see, to find anyone's contact details.
Wanted to come back to this for anyone in the future having similar issues.
Everything is now working, although there is probably some fine tuning required.
As advised, I used a compressor to blow out all passages in the carb, put this back together with a new kit - the new kit had different...
Is it possible to use the line that goes from the carb to the top of the rocker, bit like a PCV?
I don't think there is anything from the choke.
There is this line, I could TEE into?
Is that a fuel or vacuum line?
