GT40 experts required

I guess that'd put you somewhere around Camp Cory. Some nice coves over there.

74 Wind - forgot to ask you before, can you recommend any mechanics on Keuka that could work on our '95 Nautique ?   Seagar Marine in Canandaigua is the closest Nautique dealer but I know there are plenty of Nautiques on Keuka.

Keuka95: there's a good mechanic on West branch near branchport who has worked on my brothers 72 Southwind for years, I'll get his name.

Air: haven't seen the viking party boat in years, or any for that matter. They beached the Keuka Maid (thank god..an ugly beast) and recently retired the Esperanza Rose, which was a beautiful craft

Harbor lights still there but not been cc for years. Don't go there much but have been known to frequent the Lakeside next door..

Haha that's funny! My family owned it in the 70's when it was The Vintage. I lived in a little apartment which is right where the dock bar on the right is now. We also ran The Wheel Inn, was that all before your time? Here's a few Waterfront sunday shots from last summer, I like the one with my 83 year old Mom....I hope I'm still rafting at that age...

Love the pictures !!   and thanks for the name at TJ's Marine. Here is a picture from last summer in front of The Waterfront. Just behind my son (showing off his motorbox dance moves) is my 83 year old dad enjoying another summer day.    Your brother's boat does look familiar...I will keep an eye out for him this summer.

Hello Folks !

This message originates in Mallorca Pollença ! Hpoe you have a good time wherever you are located !

I'm searching exhaust maniofolds plus elbow risers plus gaskets (the full exhaust extraction kit) for ny Ford PCM Pro Boss 5.8 L 351w 285 HP V8 (type GT 40) engine. My boat is a Nautique Excel model 1992

Any hints where best to buy for reliable parts and efficient delivery service UPS or DHL here in Mallorca ?

Best regards to y'all
Morten

Not sure if your question got answered but Skidim.com or Nautiqueparts.com will have all your exhaust needs covered.

I don't know if you need a GT40 expert or a boss pro expert but I don't believe the 285HP engine is a GT40. The GT 40 is a 310HP engine. My GT40 distributor has some visible corrosion too but it's functioning fine.

Oh of course. I confused you with another poster with the 92 Barefoot.

Hey Jon - after a few delays, we finally got our Nautique into the dealer and yesterday I made the trip to Keuka to give the boat a full test run. I'm happy to report the hesitation (skip) issue we experienced when the engine was warm has been fixed !   As my father tells me, the mechanic explained the FCC (fuel control cell) had a fuel line with a kink. The fuel line was replaced, elbow installed, and new fuel line installed from FCC to tank.   I can provide more details if necessary. There was some indication of "vapor lock" as a result of the kink from the bad fuel line.

Hope this helps.

PS - we survived last summer by making sure we kept the motor box open after a few skiers or if the boat was sitting at the dock for 1-2 hours before we went back out.   Our problem never surfaced on a cold engine.

You would have to do some research or maybe Mark knows but I thought I heard the auto and marine were the same

Ljon, what's your simptom? your distributor looks pretty good...

What do you mean by silicone in the cap vent? I see the little cap. What needs to be done?

So the objective is to seal the vent, correct?

Thanks, buddy!
