[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 388791, member: 12925"] Sounds like the guys have got you pretty well lined out. I would also check the pump bearing grease. Look in the boat for a tube of 2-4-C grease with a push pump, I keep mine in the boat, if not there pick one up. Take a zip lock bag or empty clear bottle, a rag or paper towel will work also, and pull the hose on the left side of the pump and put the zip lock bag around the hose. Pump grease in the grease zerk and pump until fresh grease comes out, the fresh will be cream or off white color. If it has been well maintained grease should come out after 1 or 2 pumps but continue pumping till you see fresh. Look at the old grease, should be light gray to gray color. If it is real dark or black you will probably be changing pump bearing in the very near future. [/QUOTE]
