[QUOTE="wmrmurphy, post: 457902, member: 23286"] Good morning fellow boat rebuilders. Just a quick update re: progress made - I found a really cool stall mat that I'm using to cover and protect the floor. It's about 3/8" thick rubber - should really help with noise and I won't have to worry about where I put my mobile fishing chair. I will attach a photo at a later date. I found the anchor nest I've been searching for but have yet to brainstorm the attachment. Yesterday I started in on the engine. Changed oil, spark plugs, lower unit gear lube and replaced the water pump. The engine is a 2004 Yamaha 40 hp 4 stroke. If you have one of these there are 6 bolts you have to remove to drop your lower unit - not 4 - not 5 - 6. The sneaky ******* has one hidden under the trim tab. If you don't take this one out it really doesn't matter how hard you smack on it with your rubber hammer it won't come loose and all you get is frustrated. What the hell did we ever do before we had UTube? It had been [u]along[/u] time (if ever) since the impeller was changed. It was actually in pretty good shape but the grease was like petrified in there. There was also quite a lot of sand all over inside. It was quite the adventure - next time will be easier and quicker. At my next opportunity I will be hauling her out of the shop and running that bugger! Maybe she'll see the water next weekend? Until next time! :beer: [/QUOTE]
