    Water uplift tube extension?

    Indeed. This is mine. https://www.marineengine.com/newparts/part_details.php?pnum=MER32-8M0042790 I am adding a 5" Bay kit spacer so I bought a 2ft copper pipe from home Depot to replace the 18.75" OEM pipe. I had an extension that came with the Bay kit but someone threw it away.

    Water uplift tube extension?

    Yes, there is a rubber bushing that holds it in place below the power head. There is a rubber bushing in the pump housing on the lower that it slide into when you install the lower unit.

    Water uplift tube extension?

    Well the 20" water uplift tube is copper already, so it must not be that big of a problem. Also it seats into a rubber bushing above and below in the water pump housing.

    Water uplift tube extension?

    Long story short, someone threw away the 5" water uplift tube extension for my bay kit 5" spacer. Now I need to find some way to replace it, preferably without paying $75 to Bay MFG for another one. Motor is a 2001 Merc XR6 150, long shaft going to XL shaft. Normally, there is a short plastic...

    Swapping out a jet pump for a prop lower?

    I believe the lower is the original lower for the motor, but I am completely speculating. Theory #1, original owner of the boat (20' north river mariner) wacked a prop and switched to a jet to avoid making that mistake again. That would explain why there is not currently a prop with the lower...

    Swapping out a jet pump for a prop lower?

    Long story short, 2001 Mercury XR6 150 20" long shaft on my 25" XL transom. Currently has a jet pump on it so the height difference works because the bottom of the pump is flush with the bottom of the transom. I got myself a used bay kit with a 5" spacer and 5" extensions for the drive and shift...

    Matte finish on aluminum?

    Yeah, I've seen a lot of warnings about micro particles of steel getting embedded and then corroding. Someone suggested trying Bio Kleen as it leaves a milky white finish. I gave it a try on my junk boat and it does leave a white finish but that isn't really what I was looking for. It just...

    Matte finish on aluminum?

    Hello all. Here's my first post. A little backstory. I bought a 1991 18ft smokercraft pro alaskan last fall. I started out this spring planning to put a new coat of paint on her before fishing this summer. That lead to noticing the deck was a little soft, which lead to finding the foam was a...
