Let's play a game called name that thingy...

[Davpmars]

I am officially The owner of a "new" 2013 Moomba LSV. I am a technically and mechanically savvy guy and I want to make sure I understand my boat.

My boat!



1) Is this what they call the quick drain plug? If I take this cap off and run this hose down through the plug at the back of the boat, my old oil will automatically start draining out?



2) What is this dipstick with the green mark on it?



3) In the owners manual it is suggested that you should change the impeller every other year. Is this an impeller? For some reason I had imagined something very different.



Thanks for your help

the thingy with hose and metal loop on the end is the oil drain hose. Stick it through the bilge drain hole and wait six weeks for the oil to drain

Yes thats an impeller

Lots of threads on here and the Supra site on changing oil.
What to use and how to get oil out of that cap.

Red cap with green dot - transmission
Black cap with green dot - vdrive

All of the fluids and capacities should be listed in the manual w/schedule of when to change them. Or download form the Moomba site.

The impeller in the picture is for the ballast pumps not the engine.

If you run the engine long enough to warm up the oil, the oil will drain out of the hose. You will need to feel the oil filter and not go by the temp gauge.

That shiny green thing on the trailer is a wakeboat, i believe.

I think your impeller is the Johnson 812b. Looks like this:

Thanks so far guys.

I think that one of you said that the picture of the impeller is for the ballast bags and another said that the impeller is for the engine cooling system. Can anyone confirm this?

Here is another photo. I believe these are the ballast fill valves however the tubes seem to go to the bottom side of the ballast bags which would tell me that they are actually the ballast drain valves. Can someone tell me which one it is?



Lastly I believe this is where my engine cooling water impeller is located. I believe all I would do is simply remove the On this device and replace the impeller. Is that correct?

They go to the bottom because you have reversible pumps. They both fill and drain through those valves. The impeller in your initial picture is for your ballast pump. The one in the link (Johnson) is for your raw water pump on the engine.

Should be 4 small brasss screws to remove the cover and replace the impeller. You can see them in your last pic. If the old one looks good, throw it in a sandwich bag and hang on to it. It may save your day one day down the road.

Congrats on the new boat. If it didn't come with an owner manual you can download thru this site.

Congrats on the new boat! Looking at the plate the boat came from AZ and now in UT?

Great looking boat, with all that snow and cold temps I'm hoping it is winterized? Correct???? Where in Utah are you?
