    Is this water hookup for winterizing or for running out of the water?

    Does running it using the feed affect water temp readings? When I finally got the boat running and let it idle for a while I noticed it didn’t move past 100 or so. Do you know if this is due to where the water is coming in? Thanks

    This is the fluctuating I was referring to. I can hear a very slight change in the sound of the motor when it’s spiking but I’m not sure if that sound comes through on the video.

    Yes it works but it’s a little jumpy. I was thinking of starting a new thread to figure that out. This is the sensor next to the distributor, right?

    I just posted a reply to @alldodge about the ran/black wire. I think it goes to the oil pressure switch but I can’t find said switch.

    I took a closer look at that wire and took a better picture. Based on the diagram you gave me, I think it goes to the oil pressure switch (which I cannot find). There’s another diagram I found that says it’s for a 4.3 gl (attached) but it doesn’t show the 2 Exhaust Overheat Sensors (which are on...

    Well, changed the fuel filter and it runs fine! The filter that was on there was pretty loose so I wonder that was the main culprit.

    Yep! 1st boat and don’t really have anyone experienced to show me the ropes. This site has been a tremendous resource. I’m definitely taking the advice I get from friends and running it through here to make sense of what’s what. Not working at the moment so hopefully when I am I can get some of...

    We were thinking this (circled in red) was a fuel pump on the tank. But it doesn’t sound like that’s the case.

    This is helpful and I’m going to attach a picture of what I think is the other fuel pump. I was just reading that fuel injected models have 2 pumps and I’m wondering if this boat originally had the fuel injected GXi.

    Is this water hookup for winterizing or for running out of the water?

    Thanks, I didn’t know that’s what that symbol meant and was till a little nervous to do it. Do you think using it at the same time as supplying water to the muffs on the drive is a bad idea or just a little over kill?
