Thanks Don. I could have sworn that I chose the 3L forum originally, it guess not. Sorry about that. BTW, the oil pump that I bought from you is still doing the job. Thanks.

Well, after replacing the impeller, thermostats, testing the plugs and coils, then replacing the plugs, I finally have an engine running good again with no alarm going off (as I keep my fingers...

Thanks for the reply Phil. The spark plugs were changed within a year ago. I run non-E gas when I’m able to find it and always run at least Premium Plus whenever I can’t find non-E. I also add either...

Leon, I was specifically talking about Quikleen #2, engine and fuel system cleaner, not Quickcare #1 which is for every tank of gas. Should I be using 1,2 & 3 with every tank?

Phil,

I tested...

Anyone had any success using the quikclean products for cleaning injectors? I’ve heard sparkplug changes will be a must after this is done due to all the carbon flushing through the system.

Update; Did a sparkplug, coil and injector test. Everything checks out unless I’ve got a coil(s) going in and out while on the water. Is this typical behavior before a coil goes out completely? I...

Thanks Leon. I talked with a buddy of mine, he mentioned the coils also and said it would have to be tested too to figure out which one.

Update; took the boat back out after checking the plugs again. No alarms initially and ran wide open. Turned around to come back and it would only run about 60. Idled through a no wake (alarm...

Engine cut out on speed recently, so I pulled the plugs to check them all and found one was fouled out. Replaced the plug. Just went back out on the water...

No luck yet getting it out yet. Haven’t tried the DG Awesome yet. They’ve been sold out for a while at my local store. The 3M black streak cleaner did not work. The stain is exactly where the stitch...

Billnorman1, yes I occasionally pull it with the cover on it.

Thanks guys for all the input. I’ll try some of these things and see if they work.

Has anyone else had issues with Atwood boat covers leaching die into your gel coat? I’ve got black streaks in my gel coat directly in line with the stitching of my boat cover. I thought that it may...

I've recently had this issue as well. I replaced the o-ring also with an identical o-ring, but the oil pump is still leaking. In reading these threads, it is recommended to have a local...

Thanks guys. I was able to get 2 of the 4 screws out, but the other two are being stubborn. Bradrodfish, is heating up the screws the best method for removal?

I know that its been a while since you posted this, but I'm having this same issue with the rear pivot bushings. How did this repair go for you? Did you just have to remove the 4 torx head screws...

Kimball, a big thank you. I messaged you my contact information. Never underestimate the power of the BBC board and all the great guys on here. By the way the bird was flying about 70 mph. ��

Anyone come across a blue & gray Phoenix seat floating around in Lake Hartwell, message me please.

From the tongue, I use a Reese solid brass lock instead of the pin, just in one side instead of both. Unless they are good pickin' the lock, they can't get any bolt cutters on it. I have a standard...
