Removed the flywheel and water came out the screw hole circled in picture. Is this okay?

I removed my starter today and was cleaning under the engine. I took some pictures and noticed this Hex bolt/Nut screwed into the RFI Waterchannel Cover. It is a 2004 GTI LE RFI 787 engine. Does any know what it is? Alan

Need some advice. My starter failed and after some serious surgery I was able to get it out. It is toasted but because the orings were non-existent the inside was dirty with that good-ole Alabama Red Clay. You can see the before pictures. I have since cleaned around the opening but should I just...

The speedometer on my 2004 GTI LE RFI is broke. My chart plotter provides accurate GPS speed so I don't need it or want to replace it. In its place I purchased a gauge style bluetooth am/fm radio to fit in its spot. I know the Info Center gauge gets its power from the speedometers purple and...

The cylinder head cover on my 2004 GTI LE RFI had some bubbling on it. So I purchased a replacement. I also purchased the o-ring/gasket set for the 787 engine from OSD. After removing the cover I saw this... Looks like it has never been removed. The ski has 80 hours on it. I was able to clean...

I recently rebuilt the jet pump and found a discrepancy between the shop manual (2004 GTI LE RFI) and YouTube videos and even a couple of posts in this forum. The manual clearly states the spring side of the oil seal should face out towards the impeller. It also shows a picture of the spring...

Just dismantled the Jet Pump and have at least 3 questions. 1. When I pulled the impeller off, I did not see an Oil Seal under the thrust bearing/washer. It looked like this. Is that correct? Does that unscrew. I thought there would be an Oil Seal with a rubber seal around the shaft. Question...

My bleed screw on a 2004 GTI LE RFI broke off. It looks like a M4 but what is the length? Also, is it a standard sealing type washer? Copper? The broken screw and washer fell into the bowels of the boat. Help!

I am replacing the Oil Tank and decided to replace the oil filter. I was looking at the Oil System diagram for my 2004 GTI LE RFI and noticed the 8mm line with filter is going to the engine behind the starter and the larger 12mm hose is going to the oil pump. My oil filter was installed on the...

Another mystery blob of silicone sealant on the small humps just aft of the screen bailers. The port side pulled off and revealed a small hole in the body. The right side is still in its place. I attached 2 pictures, the port side with the hole exposed and the starboard side with the sealant...

I am a new owner of a 2004 GTI LE RFI and have been doing some cleaning. In the front I found a yellow plastic screw with 2 rubber washers on it. It looks like it could be off an old battery vent plug but the current battery is an AGM. It is about 1/2 inch long. Want to make sure it's not...
