    New boat- high idle 5.7 efi

    Out of curiosity,, could you just block off the port to the throttle body and run the hose up to the other side of the spark arrestor?

    New boat- high idle 5.7 efi

    I believe it may have something to do with the pcv valve or lack there of,, on the starboard side of the engine,, there is an open 90 degree plastic fitting from the valve cover going to the top of the flame arrestor. On the port side, another open 90 plastic fitting from the valve cover goes...

    I can do all the maintenance and pull engines/drives in and out and strip them down. My skills would stop at anything internal. Still not mine but looking like its going to happen soon. Any chance a fresh water cooling system off an older 3.7 mercruiser would fit?

    I did take the oil cap off while it was running and couldn't feel any air blowing out. It is due for a full service for sure, Impeller as well but was pulling water good from the hose and not overheating

    yeah I know how steel trailers last in my parts lol Boat is a 2000, and well used, a couple spots I can do some re-stitching to buy a little time,,, the rear has foam exposed so will have to do something sooner with that one....Dont want anything too fancy that the kids will make a mess of anyways
