496 for a Boatmad member

[Tony Davis]

Just collected a 496HO Mercruiser for an Extreme24 that I'm working on.

Hope it comes with a wiring diagram!

 

[Tony Davis]

A few changes for the better, quick connect for the main water inlet, power steering and power trim, although having seen all the electronics maybe they're quick "disconnect"!

It's only money, sell the wife, rent out your house, you know it makes sense!

Jeez TD, I'm pleased you didn't need to stop quick in yer motor.

No problem, it was all ratchet strapped to the bed, and it's within the trucks carrying capacity.

I'm a bit disappointed that nobody has asked what the bicycle pump on the motor is for!

 

[Tony Davis]

How much then Big fella?

The motor with Bravo 1 retails for £22k + vat, deals are obviously available!

 

[Gav]

Tony, i know this might sound a totally rediculous question, but whats the bicycle pump on that motor for??

 

[Tony Davis]

Nosey fecker, I ain't telling you!

 

[Gav]

Nosey fecker, I ain't telling you!

please yerself nobjockey

 

[Tony Davis]

Oh alright, as you asked so nicely I'll tell you!

It's for draining down the motor, you push it onto the "actuator", and after a few pumps valves open by air pressure and let all the raw water out of the system!

 

[Gav]

Thats a clever little device!

Handy if you have a mountain bike too

 

[Tony Davis]

Here's the boat it's going in

 

[Tony Davis]

And here's the customer getting a little hands on experience.

And for those of you with a Phantom, your boat once hung from this gantry!
