I am starting to think that the cooling water manifold might have a crack in it which will allow water to flow. There is a small hole in it but I am wondering if there is a bigger crack somewhere. Stupid me did not check the manifold when I had it apart!
And yes my sketch matches your...
I have drawn out the cooling water circuit based on what I can tell from looking at the boat and the various reference information I can find (very little). I am not sure which line to the exhaust risers actually exhaust the water, but I am assuming its the one closet to the actual exhaust.
Its an odd one for sure...I was thinking that too but someone else on the lake has a malibu with an indmar engine about the same age and its running at 165F.
I just fired up the engine and let it idle for about 5 to 10 minutes. I was able to place my hand pretty well anywhere on the engine (beside thermostat, side of engine block, on top of exhause risers, beside manifold, etc.) I could leave my hand there all day! Its barely warm. Engine is...
I did not think so...I wish I had a good cooling water diagram of the engine. It looks like the cold water goes into the water circulation pump on the motor but then I don't know its path from there. I am assuming it goes into the block. This is way I asked the question. I don't see anything...
Hey alldodge,
Indmar uses and RTD for the temp sensor (is there a difference between a sender and senor??).
I disconnected the temp sensor and jumped two different resisters accross the terminals and the temperatrue on the dash corresponded to the temperature I was expecting for the...
Any help is much appriciated with my problem!!!
Here is the situation:
Dropped the boat in the water last weekend and as I was leaving the launch I noticed the temperature raising fast. I was able to keep the temperature below 200F by keeping the boat at low speed and hatch open and made it to...
My father and I need a little help. We have a Fourwinns H180 (2008) with the following Volvo Penta 3.0 GLP-J (3869388) Motor with a SX-A-2.18 (3883605) Stern Drive. We dropped in the water a few weeks ago and its been running well. About a week ago we went to go for a curse and we can not get...
