Alright got it off, Perko 299, one has a something resembling a filter in it, the other has nothing, hence all the trash in the carb. Does anyone still use these, nice housing seems a shame not to put them back in service? Those Perko filters use a ceramic cartridge, good for many years of service,...

Since you found rubber in the oil cooler the next immediate step was to pull the impellers because that's where the rubber would have come from. I suspect enough damage to cause your water flow issue. The other clue is that there is overflow at the strainer. That should never happen with a properly ...

Lift the carpet and you'll see a board with a finger hole, lift and there she is. A very small capacity pump will do the job. I'm thinking that the float switch is...

Eric - pls post this in the vendor section as well. thx

Do they drain adequately? Check for debris and if water is trapped in the outer groove, cut off a little piece of the portion that will promote better drainage to the outside.

And remember, there's a limit to wheel diameter. Too wide and it hits the hull. Bad
