Feel like I have been clogging the forum lately, but again I come to all for help. I am extremely OCD, and even more now that I have new to me boat. Without knowing the previous owner I cant tell what has been done and what hasn't. I want to start with a clean slate and get my maintenance schedules started. Here is what I have so far, and need some part numbers and help if you can assist me. Marine Power GM 340HP with 212 hours.
Lake Test Day 1-Low pressure fuel pump came disconnect, zipty'ed the cooling line in place to prevent that from happening again.
First Trip After Purchase-PSS heavy leaking from the collar and boot and adjusted when I got home, bilge pump has power and is turning but not sucking water. Flooded bilge to transmission, checked fluid looked okay but will probably change to be safe. V-drive same thing unknown if its water saturated or not will change. After the bilge flooded, I was getting a clicking sound from the motor and a rough idle, sounded like a spark plug arc, attributed to the amount of water that was in the bilge. Got it home let it dry out well in the 100 degree weather, fired it up idled fine no misfire.
I want to do a full oil change, oil filter, spark plugs, spark plug wires, Velvet and V-drive fluid, fuel filter and water separator. The impeller was done at the time of the lake test, so not concerned about that right now, but would like to keep 1 or 3 on hand for emergencies. I also want to check the distributer cap, but there isn't really a cap on mine its more of a plate style never seen one like this before. I also have a few cans of SeaFoam that I want to run through it just to have the peace of mind. (Suggestions never used it)? Can anyone please help with part numbers and locations for purchase, I need to get this done before Thursday next week, my Tige' dealer is slammed till after July.
