We change oil in several hundred boats a year. We use an Electric Deisel fuel transfer pump, rotary vein. Usually around $100.00 From Northern Equipment. Couple this to a 1/2 vacum hose and...
on a mefi 5 the computer monitors fuel pressure, on mefi 4 and lower it does not. I suggest buying a mecanical hi pressure fuel gauge. Less than $50.00 for a good gauge, I bought mine at Napa...
The way we do winterize, with adding the extra 2 gallons of marine antifreeze and then letting it flush out the block and manifold, is a process that works for us. Just an extra amount of safety. ...
We winterize over 300 boats a year, We always drain and then flush with a marine, non toxic antifreeze. We leave the blocks dry and plugs out. In the spring, we simply summerize, install the...
Go and check out the Rinda web site. You can buy the standard scan tool and the adaptor for either Mefi 4 or Mefi 5. I have multiple adaptors, probably 8 differant versions, and the latest update...
We are working on a 07 Supra 24' Liquid force. How much Sh*t can Supra pack into the bilge. The ballast system is the cheapest I have seen. Very surprise as to the quality and workmanship let...
Yes, I use the 28,000 btu heaters from Heater craft ordered out of 4wd hardware. Al
On our motor, which is a 496, the head cross over tube has a fitting for the auxilery heater. The heat input is attached to this location, the output is just prior to the raw water pump. I use a 1...
On our Beast, which is basically a closed bow sunsport. I mounted the heater unit under the passenger seat area, near the battery. One vent goes directly out the storage box and the other vent hose...
Sorry, but I would have already had the heater installed and back on the water. lol Good luck Al
I believe it does come with the vent hose, nice black vent hose. I know they don't come with water hose, however it does come with the three speed switch and wiring. As for the thermostat, 160*...
If you can get a dripless system installed in a V drive for $300 you had better jump on it. It is a pain in the a$$ to reach, ie under the engine, packed around who knows what in the motor...

I have installed the New OJ seal in many boats, Always utilizing cold water for the coolant. On our own personal boat, 1985 Beast with a 496 HO at WOT the engine and prop shaft run just at 5,000...
The old Mark iv 454's had two piece seals on the crank. This is a particular area of seapage, as well as the rear corners of the oil pan. I had a Saltare earlier this summer, with a 454 and the oil...

"Why do you change oil in the fall"
The reason is to remove the impurity's from the oil, ie carbon and acids which can form. These can attach the babbet brgs, ( main and rod) due to being alum...
Thanks, I am interested in finding a Pirata. I like the closed bow mini cuddy. Al
Can't agree more. Oh, the Xstar's also are one of the worst slow speed handling inboards made. Al
Just a photo of the Beast parked at the local launch dock. Hope you enjoy, I know we do. Al

Standard rotation is left, reverse rotaton is right. All Supra's with PCM engines ran standard rotation which is LEFT hand. Note, Correct craft pcm's ran a reverse rotation, RH. Good luck Al
Have you ever driven the Malibu? If not do so, most definatly. The slow speed handling is terrible, one of the worst docking boats built. I would rate is a comperable to an old Century Corronado. ...
The 71c has been put behind many 300 to 320 hp engines. Ie, Mercruiser's MPI Scorpion engines. I personally have a 72c behind our 425 hp 496HO. No, problems or regrets. Just remember to change...
Left hand rotation engine. Don't go by the transmission output as you have a gear reduction tranny with a sun gear. Al
