      I have not closely followed what's happening on the ground but if we are talking huge numbers of boats and Tommy's is out of trust, then I'd be surprised if the bank doesn't have say over the sales or that a receiver has not been appointed to control the sale of the collateral with court supervision.  And if there are creditors owed money in addition to the bank then the person or entity controlling the collateral sale could/would most likely have some duty to reasonably maximize value to protect all creditors.  I am sure it is a complicated mess.

      Awhile back I got a code about my fuel pump or 02 sensor being bad I got some of the cleaner u get in a bottle to rid any plugs that might be there the code went away. I recently bought a fuel pump vacuum tester, do I even need to check it if the codes went away? I haven’t had problems wit it bogging down since I used the fuel additive.

      No need to diagnose anything if it is working ok.

    • Post a few photos.  Take it apart.  Post a few more photos.

    • I also used vesconite when I changed mine.  I had to split my old bushings and peel them out of the strut.  It took quite a while to get them out, and that was with the strut in a vise.

    • Thanks a lot for all the replies and prop advice.

      What's the opinion on an Acme 1847? Not a lot of discussion on here about that one. I only ask because I have a line on one for a good price that's been refurbished. Or is it just better to start with a new prop? 

      I have read about the 1235 and 1939. But, how's a guy to know? The boat is already set up with a wedge, Lenco surf gates, 1000lbs of rear ballast and the stock MLS in the ski locker. This is the setup that was in the boat when purchased, surprised about the prop that is on it. I haven't had a lot of time to test everything out yet. As soon as the boat was put on the lift this spring it has not stopped raining (which is ok because the lake was way down). My plan is just causal activities, no pros here. Would just like to be able to surf, occasional slalom (just for pleasure), kids tubing, I still like a knee board face plant every now and then and just tried wakeboarding last fall and plan to continue that.
