What part are you struggling with, are you changing the brass pump for the Hardin ss one?

 

[Boat 405]

Easy swap since you have good access to the front of the engine. You don't need to undo any hoses just the bolts that hold the pump on. Leave the back of the pump on the motor. Shouldn't take more than an hour or so.

This is RDP....how many beers will it take?

Can‘t seam to get the old one out. Pump and bracket is loose. Looks like the hose might be holdiNg it in place

Yes, changing to the SS unit

 

[Boat 405]

The two halves of the pump should separate making it able to remove the old front half and install the new front half.

Ok, sold. We have the beers when are you able to come on over.

 

[Boat 405]

Fast foward to 1:38. It shows how the order of parts to go back together.

Ok, going to try that angle. The space is a little small for. A couple of old fat fucks. LOL

Damn, if I was in town I'd be there in a minute. I've done two of them one on my 25 daytona was easy with plenty of access, the second I did on my buddies conquest that had zero access and was a bitch but still done in under 2 hours.

 

[Shlbyntro]

It happens. Powertune makes a great hose lubricant to help loosen the hoses

 

[HNL2LHC]

Does anyone know if any shops are open today?

 

[lbhsbz]

Yes, changing to the SS unit

Try hitting it with your purse...it’s just stuck, if all the bolts are out.

Ruthless

Ruthless

But damn funny.

 

[HNL2LHC]

Next option we are looking for a malnourished Chinese contortionist. Anyone have a lead on one?

how much cup of noodle should we expect to shell out?

 

[HNL2LHC]

But damn funny.

Hey, if your not hear in town to help go insight riots elsewhere. LOL

[HNL2LHC]

No one? Got 5 out of the 6 bolts out. We are just trying to give a kid a ride on a boat for his b-day.

 

[Hypnautic]

Are there any overheating chicks in this thread too???

 

[mjc]

Where are you at doing this? Can you bring to my house?

 

[HNL2LHC]

Pull the idler pulls and then pull the idler pulley bracket then pull the sea pump forward then pull the hoses off put on bench then install new pump

That was my next thought. Looks like the ideler assembly is in the way as well

nope just a couple of old overweight Guys. Sorry

Did your friend try a different prop first?

Best of luck

 

[Universal Elements]

All you have to do is take off the two nuts (21) and remove the bolt at 23 (above). Remove the two clamps on the hoses. Everything will slide out forward. You may have enough hose length to remove the clamps when everything slides forward. Don’t forget to remove the electrical connector. Doing it this way you don’t have to loosen the belt tensioner either. The belt will go on with no problem and will be tight. Use two zip ties on the new impeller to squeeze it and put some dishwashing soap on it. It will be easy to install. Put everything back together well the pump is out. All the bolts and everything. All you have to do is just slide everything back in the way it came out.

This! Hardest part is getting the hoses off. My engine compartment was cramped also.

How many beers in?....be honest...

 

[lbhsbz]

Also...your malnourished Chinese contortionist post got me thinking...as tight as some boats are...there might be a market in Havasu for a little short skinny fuck who can operate a wrench. Just think of all the labor saved from not pulling seats out!

Where’s that guy from Oceans 11?

 

[mjc]

How many beers in?....be honest...

3 and got my friends 13 year old son the get down in there.

[HNL2LHC]

Thanks Mike, Jeff and Barr!!!! You guys rock!!!! The birthday on the lake was saved.

This you have to pull the idler off, then the pump assembly will come out.

RDP certainly rocks!!!! Just got home after the trip to copper canyon and the springs for dinner. Thanks again to everyone!!!
