Hi Gang!
here is a brief history:
Early this spring me & my buddy bought 1978 Aristocraft 19 with 470 in it (5694572) with MC1 (4914682).
So far for the boat we reupholstered seats and had to change the steering cable - was almost frozen.
We took her out on the lake and stalled - could not restart.
Then we got into the motor:
- rebuilt fuel pump
- rebuilt carburetor
- new temp sending unit
- new gauges: water temp, volts, oil pressure, fuel level.
ran just fine on muffs, took her out again - engine just died and would not restart.
No spark this time, disconnected tachometer sending wire and we running again.
got new tach, replaced, took her out for a 3 day camping weekend - all was good until we needed to head back to the ramp.
Trim pump just stop with the leg half way down. We limped 1-2 miles back to the ramp.
The cause - trim pump motor brushes worn to noting
Up to this point all our trips where 1-2 miles short runs to the island beaches and back to the ramp.
We took her out this Sunday for a fishing trip. Water temp @85.
She always ran around 190, but coming back the temp slowly crept up to 200-210 mark. Running @3000 rpm for 20 mins.
That is just way to hot in my book.
I took the lower unit off Monday. Impeller is in tact, just a bit tired. (new kit has shipped already).
New 160 deg thermostat is on the way too. I will be opening the heat exchanger for cleaning/inspection too.
Is there anything else I am overlooking?
Should I hook up water hose to the heat exchanger input hose and see is there is unrestricted flow out of the upper unit? the lower is off now.
Where else water flow can be restricted?
Appreciate all your tips.
