You want to contact Discount Inboard Marine. They have a link on this site. Parts for your boat should be readily available. You can run the boat in the drivreway depending on where the water inlet is. DONT run it dry as you will destroy the raw water impeller. The exhaust is shaped that way to keep lake water out of the engine when the engine is not running. One of tyhe neatest things you will hear is that engine when you run it. Good luck ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=250&yrstart=1996&yrend=2000%20" rel="nofollow - 2000 Ski |
