I hope it works out for you Jorge. Do you have a way to pressure test it when you're done?

I have a compressor but none of the fittings
Do you have one I could use for and hour?

I'm going to order the seals tonight on the web so maybe by the weekend?

Leak down test, not a compressor. Go pro here please. Call Merc tech. If they are like BRP, you will be on the right track. Blowing a LU can ruin the motah. You`ve come too far.

Cheers,
GFS

Been a long haul, be sure and do a Sea Tow memebership as get things sorted out, its a nice feeling having it. Far from done, but getting it in the water makes it all worth it, hope the maiden voyage goes well.

couple tidbits - on that cable only do 1 barrel roll - I just went thru that with mine - you can't believe how much 1 means LOL

on the fuel, if you tilt it back on the trailer the pickup will get an awful lot of it out, I got a slug in the keys a few years ago and once I did that it was manageable with the filters until it was gone. Adding some water remover helped after draining the tank but the bulb will damn near drain the tank. If you let it settle out a few days you can skim the most of the gas and use it in the car but let it sit.

a big beach umbrella that has an adjustable angle for the top would work in a rod holder or hawes pipe for a couple weeks maybe - its scorching out, I hunt the shade LOL

the umbrella in the hawes pipe would work well if you went someplace you could sit in the water

So nice to hear you got it in the water and it brought you back - this thread has been like reading War & Peace - Congrats

Going to see if I can get some of it done and sneak out tomorrow afternoon

I for sure need it for mini lobster season and then the Keys

Like someone once told me

It's better to ask for forgiveness than permission

I went to show a house to one of my clients (I am also a realtor) and in the trash pile I found a cutting board that it looks like it was made for my boat.
can't wait to get some blood on it!!!
