Ok,Here we go.
When I originally got this boat it did not move for 3 years, I went through all the checks, the first time we took it out it had the original coolant mix/ratio in the tank.
Then a few uses later It overheated, not a big deal, the coolant was never replaced, so I put all anti-freeze (not reading the manual and assuming) we took it out on the lake and within 5 minutes the pressure risen enough to allow the pressure release cap to open blowing anti-freeze back all over the motor, and then at the same time its backing into the overflow tank which was dumping everywhere.
The same day before we went out we started it in the drive way and ran fine at idle for about an hour. However i noticed the water flow was not that great coming out of the exhaust, I believe i need to replace the impeller, however here is what im wondering
1. IF the pump WAS working PROPERLY, With 100% anti-freeze running at full throttle would that cause over heating? (or that scenario)
2. What is the proper ratio for the water/coolant mix?
3.Do i mix it in the tank? or in a bucket?
4.Where do I fill to?
Also, My exhaust bellow is done, Alpha One, I have two 89' 192 classic well crafts, one HAD the bellow that went from the gimbal to bell housings, my parts boat i believe has the new bravo bellow, where it connects to the gimbal housing but just butts up to the sterndrive when it trimmed down, since that is a new part, can I still use it or should i get the bellow that has clamps on both ends?
