Hi all,
Finally getting around to starting a very old project that's been sitting behind my house for far too long now. Old boat (old Starcraft islander) with an OMC stringer and some old (I think 4 cylinder) motor. I have no idea if they run. They ran a long time ago, but after sitting for...
Thank you! I will try that as a first line of defense and hope it doesn't leak :)
I see, thanks! I will definitely consider that if the module ends up leaking. But hopefully, it just... works? But great to know that a cheaper gen2 is an option.
Thank you! Didn't realize that this existed...
Thanks! Let's say it doesn't leak. Is there any downside to running it like this, with perfect seal? Is that generally pretty good about resisting salt water and stuff? I have never used perfect seal, and I just wouldn't want it flaking off and clogging my cooling system or anything. Is this...
Thank you! Luckily, I don't think the bolt hole is open to the fuel, just to the raw water cooling passages. And I run in salt, so... my worry is that eventually the bolt will corrode through or something, or it will leak enough that I end up with a stream of water coming out the top of the...
@ROY WILLIAMS thanks for replying! For some reason, I can't see your post (looking on mobile so maybe it's just weird) but could I trouble you to re-post it? I'm very keen to solve this :) Thanks so much!!
I have a Gen III cool fuel module. It has a few caps that are bolted on, one over the filter and one over the pump. It also has water intakes/outlets that pump cooling water through.
Some of the bolts were really, really corroded in there so I took it to a machinist to get them out. I'm not...
Ok, interesting. Yeah this engine has always run at 170 for me, which has been many many hours now. It's possible my gauge is off or something.
In any case, I still need to do a full test, but just to offer some more info for anyone who stumbles on this thread later... I am confident that the...
Yep, thanks!
Answers:
1) Not sure how impeller looks, but it was replaced about 6 months ago, maybe 8 months ago.
2) This is raw water cooled, in saltwater. So no heat exchanger or coolant issues
3) This I am not sure of. I know for sure they were changed in 2005 and again in 2011, and when I...
Thanks. I should have noted, I thought maybe seaweed or something (or maybe a bag) got my drive. But, I don't see anything on the drive. Plus, I've had that happen only a few times in my life and usually it dislodges after the first time I slow down and stop. Either way, don't see anything on...
Hi, I have a 2005 Mercruiser 5.0L MPI (bravo 3) on a 1998 Sea Ray sundancer. Boat has run fine for the most part. Usually runs at 170 degrees all day. Took it out today and it warmed up to 170 and just sat there. Once driving, after about 2 miles I looked down and it was running just a bit...
Thanks for all the replies! I guess I'm still confused. In terms of how I have my boat covered, I have the stock snap-on cover, but water tends to pool on the cover so I thought maybe some of it was leaking through the canvas. So I put a big waterproof tarp on top of the canvas cover, so now...
Hi folks,
I have a '98 sea ray Sundancer 250. When it rains, I get a gallon or so of water in the bilge (depending on how much it rains). I have been trying to track this down for months and I'm at my wits end.
I'm pretty sure this is rain water (rather than a leak or something) because a)...
