Thanks a lot for the information. :good

I will definitively keep your offer in mind. As soon as a get a minute to look at the boat I will let you know to see if I find anything. :stupid

So I actually worked on the boat this weekend. :good

Now that I have a working temperature guage and all :good

. So I started up and let it run, withing a couple of minutes temp start going up. Gets past 150 nothing, I figured it should start to cool down seeing that I got a 140 thermostat in it, Nothing happens. :stupid

Well needless to say I buying a new sea pump today as well as a Sea Strainer. :angry

I'm hoping that fixes it. :good

Just because it has a 140* in it doesn't make that a "operating temp". Does nothing except getting to the op temp faster by stopping water flow. Your also testing at low RPM's and no load. If you have a partial blockage, you might not see it in the driveway.

That is true. :good

But since the Sea Pump is bad I can't really take to the lake and test it they way it needs to be tested. So I figured since I had it out I would install the Sea Strainer in it so I hopefully don't go thru impellars as fast. Or end up with hoses packed full on sand. :banghead

If the pump is bad, all testing is bad too. Replace the pump First. As far as a stainer making the pump last longer, I don't know. :stupid

Simple, easier, and cheaper, stay out of the sand.

Well, if the pump actually is bad, then it needs to be replaced before anything can be evaluated!. A strainer will prevent garbage from going thru the pump and ruining the impeller, but as said stay out of the sand boats are made to run in water!.. As far as the T-Stat goes, I learned a long time ago to not to rely on the temp rating, anytime I buy a new one before I install it I put it in a pot of water on the stove and put it to the test, be surprised at how many don't meet the rating, be a good idea to do the test and see if it's actually 140!.. I still think there's a blockage somewhere though!.. :stupid

Something that just came to mind. When I was doing autopart sales I had a guy chasing a fuel delivery problem. No matter what he did, at high rpm the motor would run out of fuel. Come to find out he had a hose that had a loose peice in it like a flap. At high volume flow it acted like a valve and dropped down and shut the fuel off. Drop of flow it opened the line up. Not saying that is your problem but just a thought of something to look at.

Seen a lot of that with fuel, especially guys that put braided line together and don't clean the line out before installing, all it takes is a little chunk to plug things up!..

I'm beginning to think that as well. That I have some piece of rubber that sometimes flaps down and blocks the waterflow. I have taken just about every hose off when I was cleaning all the sand out of it. The only hose that I haven't is the one that leads from the outdrive to the sea pump. As for staying out of the sand it seems to be a little difficult just becuase of where my water intake is on my outdrive. :banghead

Yes it is a Bravo One. I talked to a guy at Performance Outdrive and he said that someone had to have order it with the intake on the nose cone. :banghead

It normaly is up on the sides. He said that I could replace the shell but it would run about $1000 to get it done. The sea strainer is a little cheaper.

If he's picking up that much sand with a Bravo, he's gonna need a new prop too.

Not really. As I come into the shallow stuff I trim it up making the nose cone closest to the sand. :stupid

So somebody paid to screw up a good thing. :banghead

I'm not real sure about the $1000. That sounds really high. You have also just compounded your problem. Being that the water is now pressurized going in you need the pump less and at speed not at all. I think we're back to blockage.

They don't suck that much. The center line of cone is the same as the prop and there's a keel blade lower than that. Lift that drive up. BTY, that sea strainer will not do you any good. It's nothing but a filter. Filter gets clogged and water won't go thought it either. Back to over heating again.

I'm not sure I'm following you. Check from where to where? :confused

Your dump, from where ever the water exits the motor to the headers/logs, or what ever you are using, if there's a restriction somewhere it won't allow the water to flow, it's a process of elimination, start from the pickup and work your way to the outlet where it goes back to the lake, you'll find it somewhere along the route!..

BTW, what is your temp when the alarm goes off!.. :stupid

I gotcha. Â :good

Â I will definitively Â have to check that. As for the temp it gets to about 195 to 198 somewhere in there. And to answer Waterdogs question, It seems only to do it when I'm cruising. Once I get on plane and start running. It seems to only do it then. I have yet to encounter it when I'm just idling thru a no wake zone or just sitting there idling. Usually it seems I'll be doing anywhere between 35 mph to 55 mph. :confused

Well from what you're saying here that eliminates the T-stat, you have a restriction in the flow somewhere and you need to find it, if it's on the outboard end it could cause excessive pressure in the motor, and that can end up with a milkshake and replacing gaskets!. :eek

Where you at?, you can't be too far from me, if you get stuck maybe you can drag it over and I'll take a look at it, should be able to find it!.. :good

i had a small crack in the water hose on the outside under the gimble housing from the drive to the gimble that was fine when i was at an idle and would start sucking air as i got up on plane and it was out of the water so you might check that
good luck :confused

After thinking about it awhile I begining to wonder if thats what I should do. :stupid

Do you know of anyone in town that could change out my bottom part of my outdrive to a diffrent case? They way I looking at it, it's going to cost about $400 to $600 dollars just for a strainer :eek

(depending on which one I go with), shit a couple more bucks and I can get a new lower case installed. Then I don't have to worry about cleaning out the strainer all of the time. :good

A Strainer Isn't A Bad Idea, Even If You Do Have The Lower Changed. There Are People That Say That The Pick Up Like Yours Is A Better Set up.
