Hello experts,
I have a question, concerning Mercruiser 6.2 MPI with a Bravo 3 Prop installed in a Larson Senza 226.
Both were bought new 18 month ago, and problem started after 2 month.
During the past 18 month I have had 4 exhaust manifold leaks shifting from one side to the other.
The manifolds have been taken off, cleaned, sealed and flattend by the Mercruiser Service Centre.
On the last boat trip engine overheated, I stopped, shut it down and was towed to shore.
The engine would not crank when it had cooled down.
The boat was delivered to Mercruiser Service Shop and they revealed that the engine
was water filled in cylinders and housing.
Mercruiser say I have experienced "back wash", water coming in through the exhaust manifolds
and into the engine itself. So the damage is not covered by the Mercruiser 2 year warranty.
With this history of manifold work, I wonder i if "back wash" is the real issue here ?
Thanks for any advise,
Magnus
