oh man, how embarrassing. I was paddling along, minding my own business and a nice old guy in a gayliner towed me in. Engine stopped cooling. NO water in the hoses, so I shut it down and started to paddle. I have a new impeller, so I figured I would install it. Now the old one does not look "bad" but it is directional now, probably due to use. If worn in enough, does it stop "sucking"? I guess I will put it in and go give it a try. ON THE TRAILER!!!

Strainer full of weeds. HMM. I removed it, blew it out with water, then compressed air, and its now clean as a whistle. Is there a screen type fitting that I can put in before the strainer so I dont have to mess with the tranny lines to clean it out? I guess I could make something up.

Oh, there is the cure for that problem! Anyone else running one of these strainers? How do you like it?

I have one just like that on my boat. It replaced the original Vetus. I was down for over a week because I would not run without a strainer.

I saw the topic and i had to comment. THATS bad luck man, around where i live, bayliners are thought of as junk, but they infest the waters because everyone thinks theyre a great boat. ive towed my share of bayliners in, but im hoping karma doesnt catch up with me. sorry to hear it. ive never had a strainer problem but i have a friend that runs on a sherwood strainer and he likes it much.

hey 74Mustang, I have been having nothing but bad luck latley. Lost a Job, motorhome broke down ($800) and today is my wedding anniversary and the wife smashed my boat into a concrete boat ramp, completley removing all the gelcoat repair I had done last weekend. And, to top it off, I bet I dont even get any lovin' tonite. LOL.

Trike ...sorry obout the run of bad luck.
Always remember the wife rules...
#1 wife must pass boating 101 before she can drive
#2 Wife may THINK she's going to take it out by herself...but can't because she does not know how to hook the trailor up.
#3 Wife may not learn to hook the trailor up until #1 is satified.
#4 Wife still THINKS she will take it out alone...Over my dead body.
Hope all gets better!

and #6, remember research shows that the happiest marriages are those that do what the wife wants. (Don't know if any of those marriages are boat owners though).

Reminds me of something I've heard all my life;
