I'm getting the motor ready for the season, and removed my motor's pulleys to have them powder coated so rust won't eat my belts. A couple questions that I can't find the answers to... 1- How do I get the pulleys off of the water pump housing and sea water pump? Not sure if this is necessary before ...

Got it - I had not considered the intake manifold yet. Thanks for saving me some time. The manual advises to remove the square head pipe plug from the intake manifold and then pump water out using the oil sump pump. I'm guessing this is where you would then pour antifreeze back in?

What's the point of RV antifreeze if you need to drain the cooling system, assuming standard non-closed cooling system?

Is there a recommended aftermarket fuel additive (Chris Craft part no. 56. 00-20629) and oil supplement (Chris Craft part no. 56. 00-20630) for winterization...

All fuel I've found in my area is unleaded with a max octane of 91, so I've been using ethanol free, unleaded 91 octane gas. Is this a problem? Should I be using a fuel additive or find a source for leaded fuel? ...

After reading the service manual for the 250 and the operator's manual for the 280 (for some reason I can't find an operator's manual for the 250 on Volvo's site), it seems like t...

I just picked up my first Chris Craft, a 1971 Lancer 19. It seems to be missing a capacity plate. I believe this is a federal requirement. Where can I have one made? Is there a way to get original hull plates or replicas?
