Re: 1995 Monterey 225 SCR restore

Anyone know why the forward port on this exhaust riser metal gasket is restricted??

Gel coat the cabin or put carpet back in? Thoughts anyone?

For myself I would go with carpet in the cabin. For comfort and noise canceling qualities.

Answered my own question...."The purpose of the restrictor hole is to prevent the cold bypass water as it enters the exhaust elbow, from back-flowing down and into the manifolds. If the restrictor hole is positioned incorrectly the cold bypass water will flow downward into the manifold and prevent the manifold temperatures from heating up enough to prevent condensation."

Got the carb rebuilt. Had some overflow/flooding issues but a simple float adjust fixed it. Ran the engine out of the boat today. started right up and sounded great but for some reason the ECM fried...literally melted. Good thing those are cheap!! (not cheap at all)

Was running the engine and sounded like it was going to sieze and a little smoke came out (see picture) any ideas? maybe oil pump?

It could be a rear oil seal leak or the seal could have been dry and burned up on start up.

Have you checked the engine oil level?

Never buy a boat as an investment unless there is something extremely special or historically significant about the boat.The pics you post are a boat I would consider to be a parts donor for another project.My honest opinion.

The boat/trailer would be given to me free...I guess i could sell the trailer and part out the boat/engine. As long as i make more than the $12/Month storage fee.

I think you would cover that in a part out.
