Poor man Opas Removal
I finally decided to remove my OPAS on my Gtx , i was minded and bored so i decided to pass action.
Since i didnt have ordered any block off kit i decided to reuses some parts
i removed Rods , Bracket , flaps i cut plastic with a saw to remove shafts and springs inside the small plastic tube who retain flaps
i sanded and polish plastic and put it back
i also removed vaccum on the pump and block vacuum line who enter in the hull ..
Cost 0 $ and work fine ..
i left Tubes inside hull ..
No leaks anyways
Feel free to ask .. or post comments !
Ps i will post some pictures ..

This process is 100% reversible cost 0$ and take around 30 /45 mins to do
Remove the plastic vaccum plug on the pump , cut the small inlet and fill with epoxy or marine grade silicone let them dry for at least 8 hrs ,
This part give u the perfect cap for the pump
Remove 4 (5mm) Allen bolts , no need to cut the stainless oetiker collar , just pry and they come easily .
Dont remove the small screw on the center of the hull behind the plastic ..
Also cut a small part of the ( L ) shaped Hose to block the vaccum line ,
Fill with epoxy let it cure before u put back in place
Remove flaps and cut with a small saw around to remove the tube who contain the spring for Opas system take off the U bracket on the pump too
Take some sandpaper to remove small bracket on the part ..
finish with a watersandpaper to get a polish .
Fill holes with epoxy plug back the hoses ( one on each side who entering the hull )
Put it back and enjoy it !
