Painting the Engine Bay

With the engine restored and repainted, the engine bay now looked very tired in comparison, so following a good attacking with the degreaser and a wire wheel, it was painted with POR-15 which sets rock hard and provides a waterproof, fuel-proof barrier.

  2. Hi,
    UA units come up for sale occasionally on ebay, so keep an eye out.
    Personally i'd get one made up because the UA impellers are quite low pitch, good for pulling skiers but top speed suffers.
    Or just swap whole jet unit for an early yamaha waverunner unit :) you'd need a custom shaft and transom adaptor plate, but it would shift.
    Good luck.
