[QUOTE="wmrmurphy, post: 458418, member: 23286"] Well, the maiden voyage happened yesterday. It was a beautiful fall day here in the PNW. The boat was outstanding -no leaks!. The motor not so much. She ran like a swiss watch once I got her warmed up and ran some good treated gas thru her - 5900 RPM pushed this little Lund every bit as fast as I'd really ever want to go with my wife and I and our trusty hound... right up until it quit pumping water... sitting there enjoying the sunshine and all of a sudden my over heat buzzer sounded. Now, I just replaced that darn impeller - she cooled and peed at high RPM but not at idle. Limped her back to the dock, sat thru the usual Sunday afternoon mayhem at the local boat ramp, loaded up and went home with my tail between my legs. When I got home I hooked up the muffs and tried it with same results - so I did what any good dedicated boat builder would do - I went in the house, cracked a cold one, sat in my recliner and pouted. (not really - I actually watched my favorite football team end KC's undefeated season - so that was actually good)... I was able to identify rollers on the trailer that need replaced and the bunks are in good shape so that was nice. Next up - tear that darn lower unit apart again... knowing this time there are 6 bolts to remove, not 5 it should be somewhat easier. I will let you know what I find.... [/QUOTE]
