More engineering on the brain . . . ha ha

To us non-engineering folk - until tight. Just like the ballast pump brass screws.

Do the Indmar v-drives/transmissions that come on the newer raptor 400s have a screen or filter that needs to be removed to clean during servicing?

Did you ever get an answer to this one? I don’t think they do, but wanted to double check. To be honest, I removed the filter screen on my 05 Indmar Assault with about 200 hours and it looked brand new. It was such a pain in the ass to get back in, I never did it again. I just suck the fluids out and replace each year.

I think I did and I think the answer was no haha. Don’t remember 100%.

Just thought I would help everyone out with Indmar part numbers for what I ordered for my 18' Raptor 400.

Engine Oil 5W-30 Semi-Synthetic: 872003-1 (8 qt, mine took less)
Oil Filter: 501022S (cartridge type)
Coolant: 872027-1
V Drive Oil: 872022-1 (Book shows 1.25qt, mine took less)
Transmission: 872020-1 (Book shows 2.3qt, mine took less)
Raw Water Pump Impeller: 685007
Raw Water Pump Gasket: 685008
Fuel Filter: 556003
Spark Plugs: 597037-16 (16ea) I didn't need them, but thought I would include the PN

I had a sticker on the front of my engine with all this info also. At my 20 hr service I found the fluid capacities to be much different than the book. I know by sucking out the fluid, some can remain, but I am pretty sure I got all the engine oil and V drive oil out as I rain the drain hose through the drain plug hole for the engine and pulled the plug for the v drive.

Taking less than specified on the vdrive and transmission seems to be a common occurrence

Was thinking.......wouldn’t it be as simple as hooking a hose to the strainer basket connector and running a few gallons of Marine antifreeze through the system?

Pushing the water out as you feed antifreeze through the entire loop?

Heck making a set up with a hose, a 5 gallon bucket would be easy.

That’s what I do.

How many gallons does it take?

I run about 5 jugs or so from a large container that I hooked up a valve and a hose to.

Awesome, I was going to make a 5 gallon beer bong with a shut off valve.

I will probably open the drains first, then close, then run engine to draw in 5 gallons.
