After a week long
family reunion, I'm back and now have
water coming out the
exhaust and
cooling the engine! Just returned from a beautiful sail and feeling back in love with the
boat. After replacing impellers and hoses ect. I had discovered that my biggest problem was restricted flow from my intake seacock which was unrelated to my initial problem. I tried reaming it out with but a 90 degree connector made it tough from above and my lungs couldn't sustain me long enough below.
I ran a hose from my head's seacock to my strainer and viola plenty of
water coming out the
exhaust to cool. Maybe it was fortuitous that I forgot to open the seacock because I might not have discovered this restriction. Now I've got. To get my temp gauge working.
I also changed the
oil and filter. Thanks for the help and encouragement.
