Chris Stask says:
Great review, excellent instructor.
Dave Callaghan says:
Great videos but lacking one key service point – water pump impeller replacement. Maybe a 3rd video?
Steve Stone says:
Thanks for this suggestion, Dave.
Eric Winter says:
Thank you for these clear and practical videos. Two comments:
I like the idea of an access hole for fogging, but I wonder how to make sure I don’t compromise the manufacturer’s arrangement for letting air in and keeping water out when the engine is under way. Maybe a nylon screw to plug the hole would do it.
Another minor point: I also notice that the salt water is rinsed into the fresh water tank. After a while (probably a long while) the fresh water tank will accumulate a concentration of salt and no longer be fresh fresh water.

Nice complete checklist and thanks for the video. Another great job by OCH.
