Well I had a blast at 1,000 Islands and this was the first time in 4 yrs the boat was in the water .. I had a company do a little work on the boat which turned out to be a $6,000 labour (labor) charge. What was supposed to be hook up seawater pump hoses, align belts, and solder 4 wires on the alternator...
Well first Fred drove the boat from the trailor to the dock forward gear but no throttle. Mop found the problem in 2 mins and I repaired in 3
Couldn't plane out below 30 m.p.h. as drive would't go in
2 new senders that I didn't need not set up
Major water leak as 1 1/4 water line was rubbing against the alternator belt
Had to drive the rest of the day with no alternator belt
Thanks again to Mop for the 2 rolls of tape
Oil all over the battery. Traced to loose connection on K plane briaded hose
A lot of water was getting in from the transom, as, there was no silicone around the pipes going through the transom..
New sea water pump works great.. Still don't see what was wrong with my
old one..
New power steering and transmission coolers working great, but don't see what is wrong with the old ones...
They never did install the oil cooler that they insisted I needed and the only part I told them to go ahead and install..
Never dreamt they would pull my engine without my o.k.
I could go on and on..
Putting the original valve covers back on, as you don't want to know why the 2 piece are comming off...
I paid the $6,000 labour.. I will never pay for the parts.......Ed
Oh nearly forgot No thermostat and pick up for the exhaust was taken off the intake manifold, not the crossover
