Nice idea.. I took your suggestion and disconnected the 1" line. Running at 600 rpm, the volume of the hose was slowly pushed out, and the line was dry for the next minute. Also, the impeller gasket was mashed outside the seat and is likely the source of sucking air. Will re-seat and torque...
I should explain. After putting in and going through the no wake zone, I normally run at 1200 RPM to the middle of the cove, then I open it up to get on plane. After that impeller change, I see 175F and thermal protect is the next stop. Puttig it in neutral at running to 2500rpm brings the...
Yup, the problem is on the water. I'm assuming this is a priming problem. If running in neutral at 2500 rpm for 30 seconds pulls the temperature down that much, it's the only cause that makes sense.
Excellent forum.
My raw water pump now seems to require running the engine at 2500 rpm for 30 sec to regain its prime after more than an hour of not running. The problem began just after I replaced the impeller. So, I naturally re-seated the gasket but the problem didn't go away. So, I...
Situation: Four Winns F244 Funship, weekly user, in dry storage, bimini top plus wakeboard tower. The zillion snaps and heavy weight (10oz/sqyd) of my sunbrella plus cover is a bit much to handle. I want an indoor boat dust cover that's easy to deploy and remove. Will keep the heavy one...
