« **on:** February 25, 2016, 02:10:19 PM »

maybe taking a last minute trip to the river tomorrow and I would need to put my logs back on. is there anywhere in OC that sells the gaskets or am I shit out of luck?

What motor? When I pulled my logs off my 460 the gaskets were just standard exhaust gaskets. Replaced them with the same ones. Got em at O'Reilly auto parts.

stock 454 Hardin motor. that would be awesome! I am getting new exhaust but want to go play this weekend. When I took these off it seemed like the gasket was almost like silicone.

Depending on what time your leaving, and how close you're to Anaheim. This could work.

Thin coat of Ultra Copper.

It's all I ever use on logs.

Ok now ran into some issues on the lake. Boat was a little sluggish right after launching. when I was headed back in the boat had almost no power. I could hardly get the boat to plane and I was WOT. What do you think the issue might be?

Notice any smoke out of exhaust?

Was RPM down? Oil pressure, water temp?

« **Reply #14 on:** February 29, 2016, 10:55:25 AM »

just normal smoke

« **Reply #15 on:** February 29, 2016, 11:00:33 AM »

Suck up a rope? Happened to me before.

« **Reply #16 on:** February 29, 2016, 11:00:55 AM »

RPM's were low. could tell you exactly how low. oil pressure was normal and the gauge for water temp was not working.

Normal smoke?

« **Reply #18 on:** February 29, 2016, 11:04:29 AM »

I will check for rope when I get home. I think that would be best case scenario right lol? should I drain the oil to check for water ect?

no smoke lol

« **Reply #19 on:** February 29, 2016, 12:04:29 PM »

Don't need to drain oil to check water. Just pull dip stick. Milkshake is bad.rope would be beat case. Maybe pull a plug or two and see if there fouled. Or maybe your carb is dumping in fuel. Maybe flooding. Just a few things to check

I've had a pumice rock stuck in the impeller once, check up in the intake and found it and took it out all good to go
