Apologies if this is buried in another thread, but I've read a lot of them and can't find the info.
Are the hex bolts that hold the stock cone (and the Lucky 13) in place 5mm? And are they easy to strip, or should I not have to worry about that?
I pulled the boat out of the water the other day to take a look (I'm wet-slipped for the season). I'd really REALLY prefer to not remove the pump as a whole and just swap out the cone, so I put the throttle forward to scope it out, and I feel I should be able to get a long hex bit in there. I didn't have quite a long enough extension the other day, so I didn't try very hard to remove the bolts, but I was a bit nervous about stripping the bolt with the 5mm. It didn't necessarily feel like there was much play in the fit, so maybe it was some wobble from the two shorter extensions I was using on my socket.
The bolt on the nose of the Lucky 13 seems to be 6mm, so I assumed the bolts at the base would be the same size, but the 6mm definitely didn't fit.
Secondary question - I'm hoping to reuse the o-ring from the stock cone, but I wouldn't mind having a backup. I've seen links to a few different model numbers and I'm not sure which one is right for my cone. I have the SVHO engine, so I got the SVHO cone - with 4 bolts. Can anyone link the correct O-ring part number?
Thanks in advance!
