Test ran the engines, should be going in soon. Before they do I am putting in a new h/w heater and new thru hulls in the sides. I can't post a video here but if you look on youtube type in boatmanmark and there are 3 of them.

Will look it up. Glad you are making progress. No way anyone should pull the engines and not do a new water heater and new Thru hulls. So hard to get to!!!!

raw water pumps on 4BTAs

Update: A fellow Pursuit owner and forum member down in Florida has started the same project. He has the same Pursuit 3000 and the same Cummins 4BTAs. We have been emailing and texting back and forth to make it as easy as possible. His is slightly different in that he wanted to mount the pumps on the outboard side of the crankshaft while I put mine inboard. His motor mounts are different so we adapted the pump mounting bracket by welding it to his mount. He is also doing this while it is in the boat! I will attach pics from his installation and some videos of mine while on the shop floor last year.

Here is a pic of our fellow members installation on his starboard engine, all done while in the boat.
