PROBLEM GONE, MYSTERY REMAINS Got the lower unit back from the second mechanic on Saturday, and still no telltale. This morning I tried again,...
Last fall I changed the impeller (and oils). Do you know about the vacuum hose system? Could this be the problem? Thanks
The cooling issue continues after two and three OEM parts replacement, lots of attempts by me, and two skilled mechanics on the lower end. The...
