We're just guessing based on what you have stated, and from what we read it's most likely to transom
So if it's coming from the bellows then there are other concerns. That said if it was bellows the water would be coming in behind the motor. All stern mounted transducers are placed to the sides...
If this is something like hydrohoist, sounds like you need a new blower motor. The blower is not putting out enough pressure to fully air it up, or the fan blades and housing has holes in it
It doesn't start dropping after it's up, right?
Since all other anodes have continuity to the engine block and the gimbal housing does not, than only way I see is get into it or run a connection to one of the other anodes
Guess your having erosion problems with the drive and transom assembly?
If so might want to install a Mercathode in place...
That one is isolated somewhat because of the trim line manifold Gasket
That is also where the Mercathode would be if it was installed. The anode is removed and Cathode is installed
Reviving your own thread can be done anytime
The 1800 rpm is under load so more fuel is needed. Under load the intake vacuum will drop, just reving will not change it much
With it not plugged in than anodes for the most part are not needed
What size/type boat do you have?
Unless your boat has a Mercathode then anodes would never wear. The Mercathode would also use power from your Bat
That's why my second comment (post 4) quoted "good" surveyor
It depends on your area and if there are quality requirements
Same thing with home surveyors, you can find someone that hung a shingle out and says they survey homes
Finding where the wet starts is key as to what and how much needs...
Welcome
Have the motor serial number?
Assuming raw water cooled
No risers correct?
and using restrictor gaskets with the small hole is opposite of exhaust elbow exit side?
3 point or 7 point drain?
Water wicks thru plywood it doesn't just go down. I would start about 2 inches above the leak. If it's dry there then you good chance to be able to fix without ripping the transom out.
Yes only about 3/4 inch, if it's wet there it's wet all the way thru. Don't want to chance going clear thru...
Surface moisture meters are not very accurate and depending on who is using adds more possible inaccuracy
Normally by the time a transom starts leaking, the moisture has made its way further up then where its coming out.
Easy way to find out for your self is take a small drill bit (1/4 inch or...
My guess is you didn't refill the drive correctly, and it destroyed it self due to lack of lube
To drain a drive you remove the vent plug in the top section of the drive and drain out the bottom plug. To refill lube is pumped in thru the bottom drain plug until it comes out the top vent plug...
The coil with points distributor is normally to be 12V when cranking and 9V when running. Manual number 1 does not show a resistor wire but manual 2 does.
Use a voltmeter and measure the + side of coil when running. If it's 12V then you can take it from there, if not then no
If no then follow...
