Greetings Tige owners!
We've been blessed with some moderate weather in the inland northwest over the last few weekends. I couldn't resist putting the boat in the water (48 air, 41 water!) - Still trying to figure out the picture uploading.
Only problem was a slow drip from the bottom of the fuel filter canister. I jumped on the board and found quite a few threads regarding fuel filter replacement.
The leak was likely due to the bolt on the bottom of the fuel filter canister being loose. I'll be adding that to my winterization check list from now on.
Boat is 2008 24ve, marine power 5.7 340 hp.
I have two problems I could use some help with:
I've seen part numbers listed as R58011-10 (22veguy) and Marine Power #396007 (KKO) - Napa can't find anything to cross reference either of these parts. My local tige deal is gone, so I'm on my own. (There's a new tige dealer, but they're only dealing with the newer PCM engines, and they tried to sell me a Chaparral-)
I can't remove the old filter from the canister. From pictures of the r58011-10 part, it looks like the end snaps into a button of sorts on the bottom of the canister. I'm reluctant to start yanking on the old filter until I'm certain that's all that's keeping the filter in.
Thank you for any assistance.
Kirk.
