Hey all...
New to the forums here, but have grown up on the water. I have a 96 Cobalt 252 with the Mercruiser 454 and Bravo III outdrive. I just got it back from the shop and was planning on taking a week voyage. As I started it up in the driveway today (the same way I have for years) after <8 minutes the temp jumped to approx 220 degrees, and immediately white smoke starts billowing out of the prop, gimbal housing, and engine compartment. The impeller was replaced a few months ago, and the drive unit was disassembled and all seals replaced. Any ideas on what it is? There was plenty of water going into the outdrive ears.
