Re: Fresh water pump

On my 32' and 37', I made both port and starboard sides of the engine floor covers removeable, :shock: For the reason of easier access to the outboard sides of the engine. It makes it a little easier to get to pumps and spark plugs. :geek: ps When you get a chance please add a signature to your post...
