Supra Saltare in France

[Sdc77]

Thank you, I will check it.
My local dealer is selling Teleflex/Ultraflex M66 cables. Is it compatible ?

The boat is looking good Sdc77.

How did the interior come out?

And what did you use to polish those seat bases? I need to do mine before I sell them.

Hi haugy,
Thanks for compliments.
The big yellow stain on the dog house has not disapeared. It seems to be a burned thing. So the interior looks good except the dog house.
I ordered a new steering cable, waiting for it to put back the fuel tank, driver seat, and to mount the subwoofer enclosure + amps.

To polish the driver seat bases, I bought a set of polishing discs. This one to be exact : http://www.alpdiffusion.com/produit....&idproduit=476 and a driller. This is for miror effect. But as it was dirty, I first use those abrasive things to clean the aluminium : http://www.alpdiffusion.com/produit....&idproduit=546

Hope it helps

Yes it is! Very nicely done.

Is wakeboarding big in France? Maybe that question was asked before.

[Sdc77]

Thanks guys, I appreciate.

Yes wakeboarding start to be an important water sport in France. Many brand new boats sold are wake boats.
At the club where I'm ridding, there are 30 boats. 20 of them are ski/wake boats. Most of ski boats have wake towers.

Curiously, Supra are absolutly unknow boats here. Many old CC, Malibu, MC, very few TS6M, that's it.

I have one question before starting the engine. I empty water from the engine and exhaust by removing screws down the block and exhaust. But I didn't fill it with antifreeze, as the boat is sleeping in a garage.

Now I need to start it. But, I think I need first to fill the block with water, as the thermostat is still in place (so the garden water will not entry the engine ?). Is there a block filling screw somewhere or do I need to remove the thermostat ???

Is this a closed cooling system, or a fresh water system? Assuming that it's fresh cooling as most are, you won't do anything specific to "fill the block." You need to get water into the engine via the water inlet hose. You can do that with a valve right above where the water enters the boat from the lake thru-hull, or as most common, you need to use a "fake-a-lake" attachment to a water hose as seen in the image at this link: http://www.bargainboatparts.com/p-10...ke-a-lake.aspx

[Sdc77]

It's a fresh water system. I was thinking that the engine is in closed loop when cold, means only the water inside the block is circulating inside, the fresh water only cools the exhausts. When hot, the thermostat opens, and let fresh water entering the block for cooling, and hot water goes out.

That's why I want to fil the block first, as it's actually empty of anything.

I have a garden hose connector system between filter and engine.
