Just confirming this is the plug to remove to determine fluid level when filling from bottom?

Wire wheeled the pulleys and repainted

Cords on outer edge are normal; this belt is brand new OE VP.

Looks like its the power steering pulley

This is the only pulley showing some rust, but not on the belt contact surface

Noticed black dust in the bilge after our last outing. Am I starting to lose my belt or maybe water pump? I dont see any areas of the belt that are chewed up and it rotates smooth with engine on.

Raw water pump mounting screws are 25-29 ft lb.

Raw water pump holding bracket screws do not have a spec.

Thats what she said

Ready for install, less the wire loom

Waiting for new pump

The floor screw was easy. The Transom screw required gumby body positioning and a very stubby ratchet, which still had clearance issues with the port exhaust down tube.

The float switch is totally busted. Requires effort to raise it (static water pressure would never get it done) and once up, it ...

I got it out. Once screw into floor. One screw into transom.

Replacing the pump and float switch.

Upon feeling around more closely, I think its one of the bolts that holds the silver piece to the boat. When I shift, the silver pieces flexes and creates a gap between it and the brown face.

One of the bolts that holds my VP shift / throttle pod to my boat came loose. I can blindly feel the threaded rod that should have a washer & nut on it, but have no clue what size it is.
Anyone know?

Thx
