Hello again. I resolved my issues with the fuel pump. I replaced the pump, not the issue, checked the filter housing, not the issue then replaced the fuel lines with flex and problem solved. Thank you to all who contributed. NOW I have discovered a loose lag bolt on my starboard engine mount. After investigation I found that the fiberglass encased bed-logs are wood core. The lag has stripped out. I have bought a longer lag but it is not catching. I also bought a longer and wider lag but will have to drill the mounting flange hole to fit and am afraid that the reduction is surface area will adversely affect the integrity of the flange. Not to mention there are no guaranties that the new lag won't strip also. I have thought about filling with epoxy and micro fiber then drilling it out, but how would that work with a Lag bolt. I am thinking I may need to drill and tap to accept a machine bolt. Any suggestions?? I am hoping it's going to be a long mild winter because the list keeps getting longer each time I complete a task.
Thanks!!!
