Man you got a lot done today, it looks GREAT!

Hate the washdown on that ledge was so tough to get out. Am sure it was, it was installed before the deck went in

Where did you decide to put the new one? I see it, but can't tell where it is.

That starboard box looks NICE, like the bus there

The separators are clean too.

Good stuff!

Thanks :bounce:

Scotty, the new pump is exactly where the old one was.  Your guy had fabbed a cored flat for it to sit on, so figured since that what it was there for, I better use it...

Getting the old pump out is the easy part...it's the new, HEAVY pump that was fun!!

Chris...no Postal Service, or does the big brown truck stay in the garage as well?  If so...bummer!!

WOO HOO!! "Recognized, but not observed"...

Gotcha. The angle on the pic goofed me a bit.

Great idea on the fuel line exits. So I'm clear...you're gonna run them back over the separators,then beneath the deck...and then back up/in the starboard box so the lines exit with the rest of the rigging?

A special shout out to Icemanbryan! Thanks for the awesome washdown pump

No Scotty, why would I want to go back out of the starboard box, only to re-enter it a few inches away?  Besides, you DO have a big arse stringer underneath that box..

The hoses will run outboard towards the liner, run aft along the liner, then turn inboard along the transom, then exit the box on the inboard face along with the rigging...

When you said they were coming back over themselves.... misinterpretation on this end.

Understand your plan now, running them high.

PS...know we talked about this....is there ANY way we can run corrugated rigging tubes to the engines?

OK Scott, this is the deal.  This Yamaha grommet MAY work...but I can't exactly borrow one to see if it will.  http://www.simyamaha.com/Yamaha_Rigging ... -f1-50.htm  Also keep in mind you have rigging going into BOTH sides of the lower pan.  If the cables (I haven't looked) come into the pan on the starboard side, then I can probably bring the fuel hose over to that side and fit everything on the starboard side.  But what are those stainless braided lines with hose fittings (garden hose) on the ends of them?

If I can make it work, well, then, the boots and webbing I ordered last week...

[gran398]

That year's flush apparatus.

Just latent thinking. If we're ordered up, we're good

Scott,
Just went out and looked...yes, pulled the cowling off at 10:00 PM on a Sunday!!  Can't be done.  Cables enter in the port side of each motor along with fuel, batt cables and engine harness on the starboard side.  Even if I poked holes in the rigging hose to allow the cables to move over to port, there is no way ANY open grommet I know of (Merc, Yam, Zuke, and OMC) will be adaptable to the rigging opening on the starboard side...

I'm tired, bud...

[Blue Agave]

On a side note to Bryan and Nando.  Bryan, that is your pump you shipped to Scott that is now part of his boat.  And the drill template I made for it?  Came from the Bud Light case that Nando brought me last weekend!  Well done Gents!!  

Glad I could contribute to Ms. D, I bet that won't be the last affair she has with a case of beer.

Bob, did you give any thought to putting the W/D pump in the console?

[gran398]

Thanks for checking on that last night Bob


Nando, thanks for the cardboard

I'm glad he didn't put it there. Those things are loud, don't want anything coming between Barry White and the PLAN.

Yes, that was the Mercury design for years.  Electrical on one side, and fuel and control cables on the other - maybe it was a safety thing...     That's what my Black Max has too.  And you really can't get the control cables to make a tight turn, so it's hard to have a nice, single wrap coming off these engines.

Nando,
Moving the pump to the console would have required all new plumbing runs, long ones at that.  The major difficulty in that install was the physical aspects of it (basically one handed, on my knees, bending down through a dinky little hatch)...but it's done, so I'm happy.  Yeah, I had to disconnect all the plumbing to get that chit out of my way, than reconnect everything, just part of the deal...

When's your Calcutta buddy getting back from Miami?
