Hello
1995 Four Winns 200 Horizon Volvo Penta Cobra sx 302 Ford Carb
This boat has for the most part always run about (by the guage ) 123 - 132, it has run 140 to148 one or two times and sometimes 130 to about 135. This is over the years and I still have the same thermostat. Dealer said not to worry long ago and was depend on water temp in the river.
I found a paper where
I had 140 guage..181 thermostat,184 goose neck, 64 water temp (used one of those pointing temp readers)
another time 3200 rpm, 150 guage, 179 top thermostat housing,184 goose neck . NOt sure what years I wrote these.
AUG 26 2008 122 at start, rest if ride 131 to 135 about 300rpm
I guess this is okay??
Second, last fall 2012, when I run the boat before I changed the oil at the dock, I noticed the trim guage did not move up or down in a smooth manner, but it sort of moved up or down sort of jerkily. The out drive moved up and down smooth. I HAVE NOT PUT THE BOAT IN YET this year, I have been feeling a bit off and I know it is mid July. Is this just the magnet thing sticky in the black circle on the side of the out drive? (see Photo)
I want to put her in tommorrow. ANY suggestions?
thanks ron3033
