    I just used your video and did the impeller replacement on my B100. I had one hiccup though. The little gearshift link pin, I dropped it into the tube that the linkage runs through. I ordered a replacement and will be using a screw for testing the motor until the replacement arrives. My question is, will the pin cause any issued if I just leave it in there? My other options are to disassemble the whole thing, or turn it upside down and hope it'll fall back out.

    • @WiscoBoater
      @WiscoBoater 19 днів тому

      I would turn it upside down to try and get it out, especially if the lower unit is still down. Easy enough to do…or maybe you did since this comment was a week ago…sorry about that…been away for a bit. I don’t know if it would cause an issue, so I would clear it if at all possible.

    If the filler plug was left in at first the oil flow would be more controlled. I had one of these years ago, great motor! It had a more colorful hood. I sold it and bought a 15, that was a lot heavier and had more vibration. The 10 was very smooth with two small pistons. Later went back to the 8hp classic, not as pretty but pretty much the same motor rated in prop hp instead of power head hp. One change is the old ones would shut off when put into gear if the oil was low. The later models would sound an alarm but continue to run - It's up to the skipper to choose whether to shut it down or run it low on oil. Depending on the tide, current and rocks it just might be a decision to take. :)

    Hey, just a couple questions about the water heater remover. First of all I trust you shut off the breaker to the water heater before you went down and drained it because the element running with no water in the tank is bad news that’s what happened to me secondly how did you shut off the supply to the water heater? You removed the cable or the hose that feeds the water in After you’ve already opened the drain so obviously you had shut off the main feed to it and I’m just wondering where that can be found . Thanks

    • @WiscoBoater
      @WiscoBoater 2 місяці тому

      Sorry for the late reply! Yes, there was no power to the water heater when I started, so the element was not running when it was drained. This was all done in the storage building in the off season. Because of that, there was no water in the system on the boat, so the only water I had to drain was in the water heater tank, and whatever was left in the supply lines after the system was drained. But, if you are talking about a 381...and many of them are different, but on this one, the main supply shutoff was in the locker by the port side entry as you go downstairs to the Captain's stateroom.

    What a vessel, man. I can see where the comfort factor is off the chart coming from a 30’ Regal, or any of the pocket cruisers. It’s just a bit more boat than I’d want. I love the classic Chris Craft styling and quality, though. I’d like to find a nice, well kept 1970’s era 25’ Catalina. It’s mostly just gonna be me and my wife on weekends, and won’t be doing a lot of entertaining, so it makes sense for us. A v-berth, galley, dinette and wet head in the cabin and a Bimini over the cockpit and I think we’ll be happy.

    Hey Chad, I’m happy for you. What boat launch do you use? When in Sturgeon Bay we tend to go to Sawyer Park just because it has lots of parking for longer trailers and the ramp workers allow us to use the further out three launch lanes for launching and loading as an exception due to our boats size and draft. I try to use the furthest out lane to stay out of the other ramp users way because we are simply slower than many boaters. Yeah, we fully prep in the prep area and I can back the trailer in perfect the first time but its just too heavy for my wife to handle the lines if there is wind so I need to do some running back and forth. Hope to see you out on the water. Look for a Sundancer with the boat name Shambala.
