That’s good advice — which I’ll heed. I’ve got a trip planned to Avalon this weekend — is the bushing something I can do after that or is it something that will lead to getting towed back? The condition of the failed bushing suggests its been that way for a while. Tnx!

After literally piecing the debris back together I think Brent’s assessment is right on. I cleaned out the housing and inspected the water pump which looked quite clean, replaced the impeller, and reassembled the lower unit. It started right up, produced a nice stream of water, and I was able...

Good morning all. After 300 hours and 10 years I'm finally getting to my water pump to replace the impeller. This is a 2008 Yamaha F90 TLR. The engine runs fantastic -- reliable and smooth. However, when I dropped the lower unit the water pump housing was packed with debris -- what appeared...

Water Pump assembly after debris cleaned away

These pieces and clamp were loose around shaft

I've been working on my windows for a while and finally cracked a pane. So now I'm replacing. The sliding window is a challenge, as it has the U Channel with Fuzz on both top and bottom -- making it a chore to get out. I'll probably end up breaking it (the plastic channel) to get the window...

Thank you all for this -- I'll give it a spin and take some photos along the way to post for the next guy! Matt

I've managed to crack my port side sliding window. Don't ask how. The boat is a 1994 22' Cruiser in generally good condition -- but the sliders do stick as the 20+ years of crud has accumulated. I'm assuming I can dismantle the window by removing the screws in the frame. But, I suspect there...

I was the op of this thread and in the end I did buy the highlander -- a 2011 with 6 cyl and tow package. I really could not be happier with the car. I've towed several times from So California to the San Juans, Tahoe, etc. I also made these trips with the Sienna. The highlander is much...

FYI came across this on Youtube -- gotta be the FacDory Guys boat: https://youtu.be/vdVJiqCkaqQ No idea who posted or where they found the video. Here's the photo album: http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album362&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php

Thanks for the quick replies. My only concern with the encapsulators is whether rust can continue to fester under encapsulation. I'll scrap off as much as I can, but there will clearly be residual rust under the paint. I don't expect miracles. The trailer is 20 years old so I only expect...

My 1994 Pacific Trailer is starting to show it's age. It's galvanized with a C Channel frame -- and it's pretty bulletproof. The brakes, springs, bearings etc have been regularly maintained and replaced as needed. But, the frame rust -- which has been minimal until this year -- is at a point...
