Most are she's,  but this one has been designated as a him.  LOL.  I have completed the power head swap.  I rebuilt the carburetor,  and fuel pump.  I replaced the water impeller and components.   I have a new thermostat,  and need to install it.  I've removed the old one and cleaned off the old gasket materials from the outer head housing.    Couple other projects on the boat with family duties have kept me from completing it this far.  I also broke a steering/throttle linkage,  and have received that, just have to install it as well.

Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me)

I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)

They don't become she/her until bolt threads and screw heads start stripping out, linkage pieces refuse to be aligned properly, your hands & fingers look like they've been through a meat grinder, and you suddenly realize that you've spent 3x more time & money on it than you initially planned to.  

So yeah, most turn out to be SHE's.......but that's ok, it builds character. 👍

I couldn't get all the pictures to load.  Here's the fuel pump.  Much easier than I expected to be honest. 20241124_211430.jpg

I  gotta paint these and figure out a way to attach them permanently.   I do worry they may become more of a hassle then they are worth.  I want some eyes printed as well. 20241126_181300.jpg

That red spring and small white plunger goes UNDER that diaphragm.    

And the paper gaskets always go next to METAL. 👍

The new ones were installed.   I'm not certain on the paper orientation.   May have to find out.
