I got my used boat home today. Am waiting for the manual I ordered. In
order to run and test it, is it better to use a flush or a tank? I believe that I have read that the flush is only for that, and won't put out enough water to safely protect the impeller. I do know that I have to keep the rpms down so it doesn't blow the barrel over, but would mostly be running it in idle speeds. It looks like the plugs are all fouled. Very oily and black. NGK BUHW-2's. The guy I bought it from says he ran it on oil in the auto injector, and never disabled the injector. I will have to read up on calibrating that. Also, the power trim isn't working. The up/down switch creates a click, but no movement. All the wiring needs to be checked, and recarpeting is in order. But since I do all that myself, it will be a fun job, and I won't have to pay an arm and a leg. A little repositioning of rollers on the trailer, and the usual adjustment of lights. I like the lights because they are high, and don't go underwater during launch. Registration was a snap, and cost was reasonable. Hope to be fishing in a couple of weeks. It has a single popper 1.2 hp Gamefisher trolling motor. I'll have to clean it and drain it, and get that running, too. But it's fun, and one can save bucks doing it yourself. Steve |
