THIS. That is what happened with my HTM. The owners couldnt afford a motor when it shit itself from leaking headers. They waited until selling it years later to get a new motor and by then, all the other systems and accessories were fucked from sitting so long.
Oh boy, this is so common in the boating industry it seems.
Waited 10 months for him to work it out then he decided to rebuild it in his shop motor lasted 50 hours.
I’m sure he did to be honest. BUT when your biz motto is honesty, integrity, and transparency and you spit lies is where the issue comes to play
. Hopefully no one gets fucked out of 35-40k like I did.
Let us know what you get!
Thank you from him and I hope so. Don’t want to jinx anything. It’s about as final as it can be….
Let’s have him get it first. Learn the boat etc.Awesome congrats to him! That blower surge sounds mean. Maybe he should run it at the dam to dam run?
He will get it and be ready to rip it. No better way to learn than dad by his side running 120 miles round trip.
Got almost a month out. We’ll see him there. K thx
Ya except dad doesn’t know shit about these type of boats. Lol.
Dad will do what dads do figure it the fuck out and don’t show weakness doing it
Will be his first owned in name yes. Been on and driven many smaller boats
That’s awesome. Good for him being responsible. Sounds like he will respect the power that motor has.
Awesome congrats to your son
No not windex. You want a plastic cleaner.
Does your son know how to change drive oil? I would do all the basics first and go from there. Gear oil, spark plugs, engine oil change, fuel filter, and impeller.So next question.
Obviously it had a full check up before he bought it.
All was good.
However. Now we are seeing some gear oil seeping from the prop area
I know nothing about outdrives and I am not calling anyone out at all. I’m simply asking. So let’s dont turn it into that. Please.
I would assume They checked the gear oil etc during the tests. Is it possibly it was just over filled. Or is a seal now possibly bad. Current owner and my son saw no dripping/ seeping before. ???
Just looking for info.
If you notice oil leaking from the propeller shaft, it's a sign that the seals in the lower unit are damaged.So next question.

He will I’m sure. But he has only had now about 24 hours. So.
The o-ring/washer wasn’t put back onto the drain bolt behind the prop. Ran by absolute right when I got into town and they got me fixed up and topped off the resivoir for me in 15 minutes. Awesome people over there. Going to take it back to them shortly, the trim lines to the rams are pretty worn, and the lines to the drive for hydraulic steering are also showing some signs of wear, going to have them just replace them all.
Just a heads up. This 33 seems like in great shape. 100K CDN, about 70K US

I loved it all weekend. Felt stable at pretty much any speed. Was mostly trying to learn the boat, what it likes and doesn’t like, so a lot of just cruising around 55-65 but overall felt very comfortable and easy to drive. Has the porpoise from 70-76 but easily powered through it. Held her around 80 for a while then bumped up to 90 for a short time. Even at that speed still felt very controlled.
It’s Rockford Fosgate. It’s beyond frustrating lol. At least I’m not the only one and it’s not an issue with the stereo. Thanks!
