"Gents,
My inquiries are simi
"Gents,
My inquiries are similar to walts and guy before him. i have two questions/querries
1) We have recently been stripping engine and rebuilding her. to check if we had rebuilt her correctly we started boat while it was sitting on tralier and ran it for about 10-20sec just to see if it would run. we did this on a number of ocasions. I realise it is bad practice to start engine while out of the water. What damage am i doing to it by starting while not in water if it is only running for a very short period of time?
2)What is the function of the bellows? I have noticed recently that there is a split about 10mm (about half an inch for the uneducated!!)along mine. The split runs along the bellows and is approx 50mm (2inches) from the end
apologies if these are amateur questions but i am an amateur boater!
Thanks"
