IMO if the engine was EFI then I would say yes get the warranty, But since it's not an EFI then I would say save your money for now for the little things that may come up that is probably not covered anyways. If your handy with basic tools then buy a service manual and maybe a good volt meter...

You have done a compression test already, Now you might want to do a leak down test.:poke: Yes it's time for the service manual, It could be an issue with the Engine control module. Make sure all the wires are clean and tight going to the module.

Sorry I did not mean to actually suggest that you should physically remove the engine from the boat, I just meant unplug the wire harness and use your own.:):cheers:

Congrats Chris on a job well done at getting it this far along, I see you are now at 1,003 at this time.:cheers: Just had a thought for another way to add to the ranking system, I seen this on another forum somewhere, What about assigning each member the number that they are as they signed up...

It might be a little harder to do on outboard, ( Outboard are not my fortay) But the best way to diagnose an engine in a case like this, Is to separate the engine from the boat. This way you will be able to see if you should be working on the boat it's self or should you be working on the...

When you install a new rubber impeller, Normally the service manuals will recommend using dish soap.:thumb:

And here I always thought the blades would go right down the bottom of the lake first.:p Glad your ok, In one of the photos you posted, One of them almost look surface piercing? Maybe that is why they took flight first.

Just curious did you see anything wrong with the engine or the boat from when it went under? I know it was not under that long. Good luck with your rebuild.:cheers:

Here is a Quote from someone that was at the show today. I was speaking with one of the engineers that worked on the project. This was a four to five year undertaking by Mercury. It's a clean sheet design from the block up - it is not big block based at all. It's a 4 valve per cylinder...

Also in my opinion some of the pop up cleats just seem smaller making it harder to get your docking lines on, Also they do get jammed up often making it hard to pop them out, Sometimes to free them up you need to either lube them up, Or get behind them to adjust the tension. That is the bad part...

As always Chris this looks like it will be another interesting thread that you are about to display.:thumb: Thanks.:drool: Did you see the new Cobalt A25 With the swim step that lowers down? I talked to one of our salesman that had seen this boat in the R&D area while at cobalt, And he said...
