    I agree jimm Some folks dont seem to understand how important a flame arestor is! "Yes you rreally should put it back on"! I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I don't love that kind of work anymore. Just drag me behind the boat!

    Cooling the trouble with sterndrive impellers in AZ.

    Thanks and it looks like a real good setup for that pump. Just some hose and clamps is all Ill need. Still wondering what mods are needed inside the sterndrive. Just remove the impeller?

    Cooling the trouble with sterndrive impellers in AZ.

    The best impeller Advice I've heard is... "Change it every year." Wouldn't it be NICE if the impeller were more accessible? Say on the back of a pump on the front of the engine? I think NICE is when and if, it doesn't consume a lot of Time, Inconvenience and or $$ Money. The Question is: how...
