My project boat

[Aquaholic]

I think the glue is 3m 4200. Your transducer puck is in the 4th picture, it looks like a hockey puck!!! Its got white glue smeered around it. Pull on the puck, not the wire and see if its adhered well.

If it comes up, get a tube of 3m 4200. Scrap the area clean and wipe it with Acetone. Clean the puck with a flat razor knife, the kind that you'd use to get a sticker off a window. Put the glue on the puck, dont have any air pockets or bubbles in the glue.

Press the puck to the same area that you removed it from. Press the glue out and let it dry.

Make sure you study up on the alignment process, that's where your project will live or die.

Hi Sled , are you talking about the shaft ??

[Sled491]

Motor to shaft alignment. Very very important with tow boats. If the motor and shaft aren't aligned you will reduce bushing life or even worse end up with failure in the shaft.

Thanks Sled I just read the entire how-to earlier post from 04Outback and very well written info I might add. Here is the link

wow, huge project.... can't wait to see the progress. finally got to see where the ballst drain pumps are mounted...

Interesting the way they mounted the drain pumps on the XLV. Note that the inlet to the pump is at about the same elevation as the outlet of the bag. In my opinion, this is not ideal. If you want to get the most water out of the bag as possible, you should mount the pumps in such a way that the inlet to the drain pump is below the level of the bag. On my LSV, the drain pump is mounted horizontally and to the side of the engine compartment, not on the transom. So water is able to flow freely down into the pump from the bag.

Does the LSV have the same amount of engine compartement room as the XLV ? If so why would they mount the pumps of the two models in different locations??

davinci,

Wow, you have your work cut out for you. And I can't believe someone would pull the engine out of a boat in ancticipation of it being repo'd. The things people do.

Anyway, if you ever plan to run more than the stock ballast, now would be a great time to upgrade to three 1" intakes and three Tsunami T1200 pumps. It would be a piece of cake with the engine not there. If budget does not allow, at least install the thru hulls, elbows, and shut off valves. You can install the rest later.

Also, you'll need to remount that wakeplate hydraulic fluid reservoir on the vertical divider between the engine compartment and the cabin but you probably already knew that.

I would not fool with removing and reattaching the transducer puck unless you know it's not working.

Good luck with the project!
