I'm eyeballing the ramps I use to change my oil in a totally different way now :D

So it just velcros to the side of the boat? Would think the force of the water would pull it off.

Welcome & I LOVE the color of your boat!

Bonjour mon ami! I work for a French company here in the states, Dassault Falcon Jet, and hear that a lot from the French employees, VIEs, and interns! Hope you can visit/stay often!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!

Yeah, you need to warm up and stretch before getting into some contorted yoga position just to work on em! ;lol

Maybe I'll keep them loose for now and tackle the alignment in spring.

Great, I'll check it out. Thanks!

Yep must be because I found out the Rue 10 does not have a float, you have to turn it on for it to pump water.

So I took the pump apart to clean and see if the pump was bad, turns out when I...

I'll go and replace with nylocks if they are not being used or are not holding correctly (which would appear to be the case) Not sure how to check alignment, looks like something else I'll be...

During winterization cleaning I noticed that the bolts that hold the drive shaft to the V drive are loose, like I can turn them with my fingers!? I found one loose while cleaning oil off the bottom...

Was the Sahara a 3 wire plug?

Well I pulled the thermostat housing off but couldn't get the thermostat to budge, it felt like it was welded in there! So I pulled the J hose off the top of the thermostat housing and poured...

From newbie to newbie, welcome and enjoy your boat!

Got ballast!? ;)...

Thanks! Planned on replacing the thermostat anyway, might as well while its apart.

just updating for future searchers... these are the parts you need

16752 & 16753

and one more question, I would like to avoid "dry" storing the boat for rust and scale reasons so what would be...

Thanks for the tip, I'll give them a shot!

Ok, so another question. I ran the fake lake on the boat for 15 min or so, temp showed 160 on the dash, switched from the hose water to RV antifreeze...

Well in the amount of time from when I wrote this post to the time it got approved I think I was able to find most of my answers! See if you agree.

They look to be Fly High flow rite valves? W742...

During winterization I wanted to drain the water out of the ballast tank lines and found that one of the connections was not a quick disconnect, (pictured in the center) rather a barb type fitting...

+1 Curious to see if this would be a good winter project!

Well I ended up buying a Ronix Koal Thruster 4'7" should be here by the weekend!!

Seemed like a good "overall" board for newbies and intermediate types, guess we'll see.

Gotcha!

Thanks for the recommendation!

Guess I'll figure that out once I get a board!

Great info! I'm taking notes as I read!

Anyone out there ride a Hyperlite Broadcast? 5'3"? I've only tried wake surfing once on a friends boat and it was only for 5 min or so holding the rope. Is the Broadcast to "advanced" for a beginner?...
