Ouch!! Sorry to see that happen to you. Unfortunately I suspect it is a pretty expensive repair. A marina will probably be the most expensive place, look for a body shop in your area that advertises fiberglass work especially if they advertise themselves as a Corvette shop. If I was to guess...

3/16x1 is what fit mine

I don't know where your located but season is pretty much over for a lot of areas. I would take it elsewhere. Keep us updated I have decided to start looking for a Islandia myself so I'm looking to hear how things play out.

SE MI here

That sounds like it's time to shop for a new mechanic. I looked at your invoice and 2/3 of it is labor. You have the mercury 2.4 which I don't know a thing about other than it's expensive to fix. What makes you think the fuel pump is bad? Them saying it "might be bad" isn't very convincing to...

Sorry assumed you had 787'

Have you ever cleaned your rave valves?

Osd is awesome and Nick is super knowledgeable. Plus his prices are usually unbeat.

I've wondered similar things. I think they were built in Illinois? I wonder about numbers how many are out there? How are are say the challenger 20' vs 18'. I really wanted a 20 but couldn't find one.

There is no way to get the impeller off without the tool. You can use an old drive shaft if you bend it like a tire iron.

Rave valves could be the issue I would pull them check the baffles for tears. Make sure the springs are all there. There's a spring under the cap and two on the baffle that seal the edges. Also check your carb settings the high-speed needle should be closed and the low speed at 1.5.

No problem. I'd like everyone to enjoy their boat as much as possible and down time isn't any fun.

Just did the exact repair myself. You will need a 1/8 pipe tap, a "q" size bit, a 1/8 nipple, 1/8 tee, two 1/8 x 1/4 barb fittings, grease, thread sealer and brake cleaner or carb cleaner. Dip your drill bit in grease to catch the metal chips then carefully drill the brass nub out. Dip your tap...

Drain any old fuel, replace plugs, rebuild carbs.

Glad it was a simple fix

Lots of directions to go here but possibly fuel related check your tank vent. Did you replace lines and filters? What are the adjustments set at on your carbs? LS should be 1.5 HS should be closed. Couple of ideas to start.

Sounds like atleast one of your return springs on the carbonator butterfly shaft is broke or off the cam. Could also be happening if your oil pump cable isn't returning due to the spring on it. Look on the bottom of the carb you can just see the spring in the attached picture. Also check your...

The through hull piece you are seeing is the shaft protector. They are useless and break the second anything enters the pump. I trimmed mine back they say if you leave them on their broke they can cause cavitation. I don't think the motor matters it might be jetted slightly different in the...

Also make sure of two things first my pickup had fallen off and was laying in the bottom of the tank. Don't know if that's common but it shortens one of the pickups by several inches. Second the clamps were over tight on mine crushing on of the nipples.
