Hi all,Hope this past weekend went great for all! We had an interesting day yesterday,My brother has a 65 CC Constilation that we just finished repowering with 327's. Had 283's in it.After Much work and *^$%#^&^& yesterday was the seatrial,motors fired right up and after a little tuning we proceded to have 3/4 of a great day on the missippi.While we were rafted up with some friends I start noticing the pumps are running alot.Well we open the er hatch and were taking water on Fast! Had no time for anything but to head for the beach where she sank in about three ft of water.Well after a couple of trash pumps I discovered the water source....the y pipe clamps were never tightened down! and no valves on the sea strainers to shut them off. Learned a few lessons there,no one hurt,no major damage,could have been alot worse.
