Well i cant get it off so the guy at our marine shop said just run it. I will replace the bearing and gaskets though

This has been my experience . In this part of the boat , resin and fiberglass are layed up very thick and if at some point someone decided to clean up the bilge or just didnt know whats goin on . They might have just poured a ton of resin over this area . Resin by itself is very brittle and there you have it . Fiberglass and electrical are two things I dont do . At all.

Thanks Beerjet.



It looks like pure resin as you can see. so i can either poor more on or just leave it alone.

 Should i bust it out? and then glass it.

 Shit i need a beer to much thinking going on here

 Well i just started to clean out my 454 project boat 1970 Holmes. I found some damage and just wondering can i just fill it in with resin and glass over top of it or should i just scrap this project all together?

 It looks like some one has done some glass work on it all ready.  I am begining to wonder if it is even going to be worth it to get it fixed up again, Im really having my doubts.

 It also has a fiberglass gas tank and needs new guages,motor rebuilt, pump rebuilt, and both cables, so far

 Starting to get bummed out, how about some advice Huh.

When or how do you know when to change it. I pulled the pump and it spins freely. I am not replacing the impeller, just gaskets so far. Now i have to find where to get  a rebuild kit with just gaskets. Do they even have one like that or is it all individual?

That's going to be a real hard sell. You might try paying someone to take it off your hands. Ask Rod aka Sanford.

 Yes i know its priced high but thats where you get talked down and still get what you want for it

 If i could get the ol'lady to wash it i would post some pics, just because.

You have some cleaning to do! WTF is up with all the hoseclamps on the cable?  Umm maybe a HUGE flathead made for a 1/2" or 3/4" breaker bar, maybe one at Napa

 Ya i know its a mess. It sat for the last nine years unattended

 The hose clamps? I dont fuggin know, It was in a wire loom and then wrapped up in duct tape. Thats not the half of it. They also drilled a hole in the transom to shove the new hi perf cable through . Dont know why.

I do have the 1/2 " drive flat head socket but it just slips off.
