Help me out Steam while flushing bad?

[Snowdude8]

Ok last season I noticed an exsesive amount of steam while flushing motor. I started to figure out why and it turned out to be my risers were rotted and water was flowing down the exhast manifold on the inside. So I replaced both and the problem was resolved. Now next season comes round and I decide to start it up in the driveway. The problem has returned only this time nothing seems to be effected. No water in the oil, or cylinders. Just a large amount of steam any thoughts or ideas?

BTW I have a Mercruiser 260 in a 19ft Thompson bowrider

Thanks!

When was the last time the impeller in the outdrive was changed.

Did you winterize your boat last year? Did you get ALL of the water out of the manifolds?

Ayuh,.... If the only symptom is Steam,..... I doubt you have a Problem...

Steam is a product of local Weather conditions as much as anything....
