    Exhaust Steam Concern?

    I have 1992 454 mercruiser's with fresh water cooling. The engines have 1200 hours on them. I have owned the boat for three years and have done routine maintenance on them every 50 hours. All manifolds and elbows were also replaced last winter. As long as I can remember I have always had a...

    Painting Cockpit Floor

    This winter I would liketo paint the cockpit floor of my 1992 370 sea ray express cruiser. It is a little scratched up and I think a fresh coat would enhance along with all the new final being replaced this winter. What type of paint do you recommend putting over the factory paint, do you need...

    White Steam from Exhaust

    I have white steam coming from both engines exhaust. More while under load. Both engines run smooth, I have no loss of coolant, oil is clean and I run consistently between 160 and 170 (depends on the temperature of the water). The steam is there all year long and the air temperature doesn't...

    Coolant Leak

    I got the february blues this weekend and decided to go out to the boat and check on a couple of things. I took off the heat exchanger cap to find no coolant in the heat exchanger! There are no wet spots in the bilge and no signs of a leak anywhere. Where is it going?????<br /><br />I run 454...

    manifolds

    After engine runs for 10 - 20 seconds, steam comes from the area of where the manifold connects to the engine block. Is this normal? I am also losing antifreeze at a slow pace under pressure. The system is closed on 454 big blocks.

    Manifold steam and loud clicking noise

    After a 2 hour cruise and backing down to idle speed a clicking noise comes from the port engine. It is fairly loud after the hatch is open. After 20 - 25 seconds steam seems to come from the manifolds. Any suggestions on what to look at first? :confused:

    generator fuel pump

    That same generator talked about went out on me this weekend. It was running for about 2 hrs, we started the engines to come home and 10 minutes in it stopped. When you go and try to start it will run for about 10-11 sec. then shut off. If you try and restart right away it won't even run...

    Generators

    I just purchased a 1992 Sea Ray 370 Express Cruiser to replace my 240 Sundancer. I have never had a generator before and the person who surveyed my boat said to never run the generator while anchored out for the night with or without others tied up to you. Is this true? The boat is equipped...

    Trim Pump & Impeller

    Connected batteries after the winter, all electronics work and meter reads 12 volts. When you hit the trim switch as well as the trailer switch nothing happens. No "clicking" or noise from the pump. Fuses behind the dash are ok, is there a fuse back on that pump?<br /><br />Also going to try...

    Impeller

    I'm running an 2000 Mercruiser V8 with a Bravo III sterndrive. I bought the boat last season and I do not know if the impeller has ever been changed. Where is it located, can it be reached from the engine compartment and the boat in the water and what level of difficulty is it to change?
