    Great video. I intend to use this as my guide for the same process. I have a 1990 Ski Natique with a PCM 351. Two questions, 1) should I by pass the resistor feeding the coil? 2) Is my 351 PCM PLD-PR-R12PP a Windsor engine., to ensure I get the correct distributor/coil? Thanks again for a great video..

    • @rontanis1024

      Our distributors come with a correct new coil, and does not use a ballast resister. 1990 Correct crafts should be standard rotation but I would double check, if the front pulleys are rotating clock-wise it is a standard rotation engine/distributor, if counter-clockwise it is a Reverse rotation engine/distributor.

    I just replaced my shock absorber that was definitely bad. It seems like the master cylinder was good and squirting juice…however the whole hitch assembly still slams back and forth upon braking and acceleration. Does that mean the master is bad or that they just aren’t bled properly or is there a whole different problem?

    • @rontanis1024
      @rontanis1024 28 днів тому

      A small amount of fore/aft play is normal 1/8" -1/4" but not 3/4" to 1" If the brakes are bled correctly and the fluid is up you should be able to compress the actuator about 1/4" before it gets hard and begins to stop the wheels, the harder you compress the harder the brakes will expand/stop the wheel. Leaking lines will also cause this as the fluid is pushed out.

    • @chadqueckboerner6423
      @chadqueckboerner6423 28 днів тому

      Thank you! There seems to be more play in it than that and the thud it makes is pretty bad. I am getting fluid out of the bleeders, but I can move the plunger fairly easily, more than 1/8”. At this point I am assuming the master cylinder is weak/bad and I’m need of replacement?

    By the way, I live on the lake, so my boat is rarely on a trailer. I run the boat before winterizing so that it’s warm enough for the thermostat to open…

  • @ffhd1clt
    @ffhd1clt Місяць тому

    The problem is on older boats you have now removed block plugs and manifold plugs so many times that these soft alloy plugs get flattened threads. I had to retap the threads in my block. All you have to do is remove the hose clamp from the hose that is pulling water from the lake, put it in a bucket of antifreeze, and let your engine pull antifreeze throughout your engine and cooling system. You then have antifreeze everywhere, including in the impeller pump, and you save your plugs and your engine block. My buddy has been doing it this way for 30 years, and I felt pretty stupid because I started having so many problems from removing and reinstalling plugs for so many years.

    You found the problem right away. And I will say good video. BUT, retired marine tech here, I would have started at the gauge to make sure gauge is getting keyed power and ground to it. If Good then continue and ground out the gauge right then on the back, if good continue. Now ground out at sender, if gauge doesn’t move wires are bad, if gauge pegs its the sender. Doing it this way you are checking the complete system. What would you have done if the gauge didn’t move when you grounded it at sender, you would have had to do what I just described anyway. Think simple & thorough first.
