New member first Jet boat 2 issues

[5gees5]

I have had other boats but loved what I saw a bout the Yamaha AR210. M7 2007 has 160 hrs and has a couple of issues. Right engine is overheating and shop says new fuel pump. They say there is a slight problem that the location of the pump is under the deck and their bolts that are stripped. Not sure what to do here. Second issue is the pulling mechanism that is like tab on a bottle broke and I am not sure where to order a new one. Thanks for the help

No idea what you mean in your 2nd issue.

Not sure how a fuel pump causes an over heat.... But yes... On older boats it is easy to strip the bolts on the floor.... Especially if you use the wrong tool to take them out.

The first issue is the overheating . The second Issue is the stripped bolts. Any recommendations on how to deal with the bolts?

Also stripped the bolts on the floor. Very easy if your boat was used in salt water and this exposure to salt caused the bolt to be seized in place. I’ve successfully used WD-40 and an manual impact driver. If you stripped the bolt, make a deep cut, so the impact driver (flat 3/8”) can fit/grip to turn the bolt when hit with your hammer.
