| I have a 1985 Barefoot Nautique which is apart and getting ready to put the engine back in. I'm wondering if anyone has pictures of their Barefoot Nautique engine bay so I can use it for reference. Unfortunately the person that took it apart did not take photos so want to help make the reassembly an easier puzzle to solve. |

My Ski Nautique is 1989 with a factory installed 454. It's dress up but is the same configuration. Hope this will help.....    |

This is great pjsmoreno! I really appreciate it. Once we get into it I may circle back for a couple other photos in specific areas. Have a great day! ------------- 1985 Barefoot Nautique Saint Petersburg, Florida |

I was out on the lake yesterday afternoon and I remember the request for a few pics. Thanks for the comment on the engine. Was rebuilt a couple of years ago due to a failed impeller. I should have change it before summer started. Can only blame myself for that...

Oh wow... impeller thing is the real deal. I am religious about changing every year. If you happen to have a photo of where the oil cooler is positioned I would super appreciate it. Also, do you have a transmission cooler? I can't remember if mine was a combined cooler or not. ------------- 1985 Barefoot Nautique Saint Petersburg, Florida |

Was distracted that year with adjusting the carburetor after
a rebuild while at the boat ramp. Didn’t catch it in time. |

I'll agree with the "nah" Looks like one of them big boy 9 inchers, for a 10-18/72C to me, not the little 5 incher on a 10-17/71C
