Hi Everyone,
My '79 SV 190 I/O is getting closer to getting back on the water. I finally got it home from where the previous owner was keeping it while we repaired a few items. I was fortunate in that the P/O was willing to help me get it working/running after it sat for 7-8 years. With the purchase I scored a new 4BBL carb, a "0" time Alpha outdrive, a new EZLoad trailer and a full canvas set. Now that I have it home, I compiled the following "to do" list:
Immediate items:
1. new blower motor - old one shot
2. fix fuel sending unit
3. install new trim solenoid- trims up. but not down
4. Flush fuel tank
5. Scrub,wash and polish - gelcoat is splotchy and chalky, aluminum and stainless oxidized
6. Remove pine needles from sitting
7. Oil change and service drive unit
8. Re-install swim platform after polishing
9. Install new registration numbers/letters
Short term:
1. Change exhaust manifolds- water seeping when running
2. rebuild jump seat bases and replace ice cooler
3. repair factory installed horn
4. replace bow and stern lights
Long Term:
1. Repair soft spot in floor ( small area)
2. New carpet
3. New upohlstry
4. Strip and restain all wood trim
I think thats enough for now- I bet I have everyone sleepy by now, LOL, Within the next few weeks, I hope to have her afloat and running thru the water. I will take some pictures this week if the rain holds off for a few days and get them posted. :grin:
