Got a quote from the marina...Guy there told me that OMC stopped making replacement parts for my VRO pump about 5 years ago... but he'd be very happy to sell me a whole new one for roughly $500. Put the boat back on the trailer and came home. ( It's been a bad day)...... There is no way on God's green earth that I'm going to pay $500 for a piece of rubber the size of a mayonnaise jar lid!!  I'll go hunting on Monday... Hope you guys at Tices had a better day than I did...
Oh, and did I mention that I also need to replace my water pump impeller?....<sigh> |
