Cobalt 250 Swapping from Porta-Pottie to Porcelain Electric Flush Head
I swapped my boat over from the smelly, hard to empty, porta potty, over to a true porcelain head. I had to add a holding tank to my boat that did not have one originally. In this video, I describe my methodology and how I determined where and how to mount a tank in a bowrider that was not originally designed for one.
I apologize up front - I lost some footage from the installation. I lost footage from the beginning of the build process where I test fit the tank and hoses and then some footage at the end of the build where I connected the hoses and wiring. I hope this video is still helpful despite the lost footage.

    I have the similar throttle, after I open and clean and put them back together, my shifter doesn’t able to find N, and it’s very loose when push forward or backwards. Do you think I need a new control box? The reason I open it because boat won’t idle when put on reverse and it took to much force to put it on reverse before. Thanks

    Chris, thank you for the very helpful video. My question is this. My Seloc repair manual for my 2005 Volvo Penta SX-M outdrive states that after installing a new or rebuilt trim cylinder, I should fill it with hydraulic fluid if it wasn't pre-filled PRIOR to the self-bleeding process. However, I haven't seen any video stating that this is necessary. If not...great! If it is, how in the heck to I get fluid into the trim cylinders? The only way that I would guess that it could be done would be to compress the cylinder as much as possible. submerge the two openings for the lines into a container of hydraulic fluid, and pull out the rod to draw the fluid into the cylinder. What is your recommendations?

    • @SlideruleRacingProducts
      @SlideruleRacingProducts Před měsícem

      The way I've primed cylinders the last time I rebuilt them was that I connected hoses to each of the ports and routed them to a container filled with ATF fluid and then I worked the cylinder rod back and forth, tipping the cylinder appropriately to get the air pockets out of the cylinders. Good luck!

    @echandler1971 Před 11 měsíci

    This was helpful for me, even if only tangentially. My trim sender on the port side was pegged as up. In my case, it was the Amphenol connector for which the wires corroded off of the sender-side pins you show popping out with the various tools. I wasn't sure what was in the connector, but looking at what you had done and the bridging of the connectors, it seemed to me that this was JUST a connector and not some sort of circuit breaker or fuse holder. I went ahead and just did heat shrink solder connections to just connect the cables together without the Amphenol. It now reads correctly. Yeah, it's not optimal, but I can always cut the connectors and solder a new one in later.

    This is NOT the easiest or best way to the replace the axle seal. I tried it and couldn't remove the seal with the exact same seal puller. The best way (and the way the Chevrolet shop manual says to do it) is to drive the inner bearing race out with a drift pin and push the seal out (don't forget to drive the race back in). I just put the hub on a couple of 2x4's turned on edge on my garage flood so the seal could fall out. They make a tool for pulling these big seals but it costs over $100.
