Just a puller, I'll have a spare 537

I think it's a puller and a case in a kit.

He's got more horses I think

I changed the oil, v-drive and transmission fluid on the boat this past weekend. For those of you that don't have the funds (or don't want to spend the $$$) on a fluid extractor, I would highly recommend this $15 pump from Penzoil. I took a 1/4" air compressor fitting and put it on the end of the oil drain line and hooked up this pump to it and sucked the pan dry in under 2 minutes (boat was on a hill with oil facing the drain):

I bought mine from O'reilly but I know Autozone and Advance both had them as well. It also worked great for the v-drive and transmission.

This is for the Marine Power 340hp 5.7L
5 quarts 40w oil
1 AC Delco PF1218 oil filter (Fram PH5 (or PF5?) works too but the Delco is a little shorter which made it easier to put on)
2 quarts ATF (1 in the trans, 1 in the vdrive)

While pulling the oil filter, I noticed that something looked funny about spark plug #7 so I pulled it and the porcelain was cracked on both sides so I decided to just replace all 8 plugs even though I am only at 190 hours or so on the engine. All of them were out of gap so not necessarily a bad thing.

8 AC Delco 41-993 platinum spark plugs ($6 each).
spark plug gap is .060

Happy Boating

Same unless the OP had the small engine and I missed it.

I think theres clerence between the hull and prop on the Z1 for the 14.5 Dia of the 1235.

The 537 is 13.5 isn't it????

sure!

I think your right Ed, everytime I buy a upgrade for it I have to upgrade something else to get it dialed in. More sac = more prop, new speakers= more amp

Better hope your wife doesn't think she is getting upgraded

Yep

You may want to check the clearance on the trailer as well.

I got both the 1235 and the weekend saver from Mike

[skippabcool]

Weekend saver = puller, tools, & case

I like to think I may have the 340 but I'm pretty sure I have the 320hp MP

And nut and cotter pin

Good thinking, never hurts to double check that as well.

Oh you were referring to you.

I think I'm good on both but I'll check
