why not leave the tape on while you countersink?

@rontanis1024 10 күн бұрын

You can leave the tape on, but as you drill powder tends to lift the tape a bit & when I counter-sink I can see the depth of the countersink better when the tape is removed

Thanks, just bought my first ski boat, 2005 Getto. I do believe after spraying WD40., another lubricant is needed. WD 40 can be corrosive ( eats the rust right off rusting nuts and bolts!)

Ron , My boat 2008 supra, with a medallion instruments my full gauge does not read correctly. After start up it goes to full and stays there. New full gauge. Also when I go through the sweep sequence , it seems to operate properly. Is it possible that the mdc is bad?

Senders are more likely to fail, I would start there, test to sender.

Great video as always! I need to modify my current top for a new wakeboard tower, so I’m going to follow this. for winter storage, I always buy oversize covers and just put a big ladder or use the wakeboard tower as a prop up and then use extra tarp tiedown clamps, and bungee cords to get the tension I need. Works great and keeps the snow and rain off for the winter and cost about 150 bucks.

Great video and 100% spot on! Adding a strainer to my FWC Mercruisers now... For impellers - I've changed mine in 100, 300 and 500 hours and they always looked like new (always OEM) - I now chance them every 5 years as they last (unless they run w/o water and that destroys them), but on that Johnson - 100% so easy to chance every year or every other year!

My gauge is in a very tight space and my sending unit is INCREDIBLY hard to get at, so I ask this - my gauge is always pinned on full. Does this mean that my gauge is good and the problem is definitely in the sender? TIA. PS: great vid, thanks.

@rontanis3732 Ай бұрын

Unless you disconnect the sender wire from the sender you won't know, if disconnected & the gauge goes to E or below it will be the sender or the sender wire is grounded somewhere, but usually it would be the sender then.

Hi, one question, how long should the engine be on in neutral?

@rontanis3732 2 ай бұрын

Not sure I understand the question, you can leave a ski boat motor in neutral at idle until it runs out of gas as long as it's getting proper cooling.

I have a question it’s not about this. It’s about which would you choose between a 1991 Ski Centurion Falcon closed bow with 351 carb / 440 hours and 2002 Malibu Wakesetter with 350 fuel injection / 726 hours .

Great video.. I'll be ordering a sea water strainer for my MasterCraft ProStar190 as we sometimes see trash on the lake after a storm. Quick question: 1996 ProStar190 Indmar Marine 350 TBI engine with 1050 hours. Starts fine, idles fine, runs fine at 32MPH and shows a steady reading of about 150 degrees. After shutoff the water temp zooms past 180 and even close to 200; sometimes enough to light the check engine light. New FB6-9 raw pump, replaced the circulating pump a couple of years ago. What I have noticed is - starboard exhaust manifold is hotter than the port side and I am also getting a small amount of water in the crankcase. I believe it's the starboard side exhaust manifold riser gasket, which is 28 years old. Still trying to get a good tool (need a Bondhus 5/16 swivel hex key wrench - on order) to get the 2 rear bolts off the manifold riser. I have the riser gasket and new screws on order. Any other thoughts?

Love your channel. I’m in the process of buying a 1991 Ski Centurion Falcon. It’s very clean kept in a garage only 440 hours. I know that could be bad or good. He has all maintenance records. Any problems from this year I should look for? Thanks

@rontanis1024 3 ай бұрын

First check oil level, then what weight oil are you using, should be 10-40 or 15-40 weight oil. My next question would be what does the gauge show when idling right after start-up and again at 1500+ within the first 5 minutes. If normal early on, then only shows low pressures when hot I would suspect the oil. Make sure the oil doesn't smell like gas either.

On closed cooling stern drive boats if you put to much concentrated antifreeze in will it overheat? All passages are clean new pump risers manifolds but temp is 170 this year ntead of 160. Stat is new too. 80 ocean. Thta`s the only thing i can think of. Also guage and sensor new too.

I have a 98 Malibu echelon with the medallion system, my gauges work intermittently, and sometimes oil pressure and water temperature are pegged as far over as they can go, so 80psi oil pressure and 240 degree water temp. When they go out I can get them to come back by wiggling the small oval connector. Any suggestions?

@shumanchu1 4 ай бұрын

@@kadencleaves6554 Faulty stepper motors will "freeze" the needle in random locations. Generally, wiggling connectors does not relieve this issue, but gently tapping on the gauge pod itself will "loosen" up the frozen stepper. If your gauges are pegging max intermittently, and you can wiggle a connector to relieve the issue, then almost certainly there is corrosion on the connector contacts causing the MDC to think that the inputs are maxed out. Get some deoxit cleaner and clean up both sides of the connector.

If your screwhead is not sinking into your countersink hole, as when installing the Bimini hardware, why do you still countersink for the screw head? The screw head is stopped by the hardware, not settling into the countersink hole?

@rontanis1024 4 ай бұрын

To avoid future cracking of the gelcoat you don't want the threads of the screw to press against the gelcoat, this is easily achieved by countersinking the hole, which will keep the screw from being in contact with the gelcoat.
