Unfortunately nothing. :banghead:

If its under the engine then it's not happening. I will check a few places but I was hoping for under a clear or rug etc.

Its usually a hidden environment. My sea ray was under seat cushions

I was surprised too. It's a 1979 mark 1

My Hin is very clear on the transom but it appears to be a mistake. Everything I have for documents have MPC... but the transom has MCP... it looks original and not altered. Boats should have it embedded in two places . one is easily viewed and second is hidden. I just don't know where.

So I am running into issues with my hin number and wondering where the 2nd hin number is located? Has anyone found it? Currently the Hin starts with MCP and Mainship is normally MPC .

I know!! I could not believe that they unscrewed. I am sure glad i decided to remove them... :eek:

I think I have the solution now.

I never heard of a pump having aluminium parts either but I can see why they discontinue it. It was an early gen pump on the 3208.

Well i think i may have the solution. I purchased two used pumps from FB marketplace. one is the Sherwood P176-02 and the second is the Jabsco 777 The Jabsco has both a pulley and mounting bracket so its an easy fit. The Sherwood has fittings and a pulley. Both i seem to see cross references to...

Nothing on their website I emailed them.

So I removed my raw water pump to clean and replace the impeller and discovered the housing of the bearings is broken. Its Aluminum and corrosion took its toll. It's the cat 4N6582 (Jabsco 17350-0011) . Unfortunately its discontinued as is most parts. Anyone have suggestions on replacing?

Well I decided it's not worth the time to dispute the stands so I bought my own. The old stands were not in great shape so I told the former owner to take them. Lesson learned to put it in writing.

Thanks for the tip Solly! Well i do plan on adding a 2nd one but i decided to remove the current one from the bottom. well i am glad i did. it had stainless screws holding it in. :eek:

I'm thinking it may not have been as bad with the original motor but this has a Cat 3208 and its pretty big so it may be longer. I am considering adding a 2nd in the back near the stuffing box

Well I found it inside. I think its next to impossible to remove. I can see the outside flange but it's under my transmission.

Well i think i finally found it! After moving it home we re positioned the blocks and now i see a hole on the bottom of the keel. I plan on finding it inside tomorrow.

My dad had a 93 sedan Bridge 40 that had an aluminum tank as does my 79 Mark 1

You are correct... my dad has been at the yacht club for 40 years and he has never seen a boat sold there that didn't include the stands but it was my bad to assume they were included.

In the grand scheme of things the stands are cheap. If the guy was an active boater and planned on buying a different boat I would not think much about it but he has not been active for 18 years. I don't want to create waves by making a big deal with the previous owner about the stands so I am...

The boat I bought was laid up since 2003 on the stands and if all goes well I think I can bring it back from its hibernation. I did pay more than many told me it was worth so I didn't want extra costs buying stands but if I buy some I will buy newer with less rust. I'm sure he plans to sell them...

To be honest i think the guy wanted more money than i paid for the boat and I think its his way of a shake down. Well I hope he likes his 30 year old rusty stands because I would have let them go if i was selling. :rolleyes:
