I posted a more thorough and detailed version of this issue on "General Bassboat Topics" Saturday but didn't get much in regards to relevant comments. Maybe I type to much in an effort to be clear on my issue. To make a long story short, my Johnson pump HOUSING that is screwed into the thru-hull fitting busted somehow. I'm guessing the extreme cold got it. I just replaced it last year when I bought the boat. But back then the thru-hull fitting felt loose in the silicone. I've been told I must replace the entire thru hull again because the housing screws come from under the fitting and are not meant to be separated like mine is. My thru hull is solid as a rock. I'm irritated that I may have to redo all that silicone.
The reason I'm posting on BassCat forum is because I believe this Johnson housing/fitting is standard installation by BassCat. Are there lots of complaints about this Johnson SPX Flow housing falling apart? I just want somebody to reassure me or tell me otherwise in regards to replacing everything. The actual pump works fine.
