Ping NOYB & Suzuki 4S Owners
"Gene Kearns" wrote in message news I just had a really odd problem... last Sunday we dumped the boat in the water with visions of putzing down the ICW to one of our favorite restaurants.... but it was not to be... the right engine (DF140) would not pee..... Ok... pull the boat out and buy a new wate pump kit... Today I pulled the water pump and replaced all parts with new... in spite of the fact that I could find nothing wrong with the old parts. The outboard Gods were pleased with my efforts, however, and I was greeted with a strong stream from the pee-er.... Strange science... but it was apparently neccessary... I wonder if it was the water pressure valve all along? Oh, well..... yet another project..... We had talked earlier about some really hefty money that the local mechanic wanted for preventive maintenance.... and one of the issues was a sacrificial anode in the head. That anode is accessable from outside the engine via 2 screws and pulling a plug... another screw holds the anode.... I suspect that the total cost per engine would run under $20 parts plus 30 minutes labor. (I have 2 anodes... you likely have 4.) Thanks for the info. I just had the 200 hour service done, which included replacing the water pump impeller . Total cost including tax and coming to pick up the boat was $502. As far as I can tell, the external anodes didn't need replacing and weren't touched. Can't say for sure if the ones in the head were inspected/replaced. I suspect not. |
