Engine Serial OF148532
Transom OF257215
Drive OF237659
1995 Bayliner 2050
BackgroundMotor was running fine, hydrolocked on muffs after I got distacted while hose was cranked. Cleared out cylinders she ran great. After a week on the trailer she was hydrolocked at the ramp. Blew out cylinders but 3 spark plugs were cracked in the ceramic. Makes me think one side of motor may be overheating probably related to the hydrolocking. I find through all my research it must be leaky mani/risers. The generous amounts of form-a-gasket all around the manis and risers makes me even more sure of this.
Questions1. Where are the best prices on manifolds and risers? Found a complete kit on Ebay for $600 shipped
2. What size risers should I be looking for 3" or 4"?
3. Should I go ahead and do impeller?
4. What else should I go ahead and knock out while doing the mani/riser swap?
5. Should I be replacing the exhaust all the way from risers back to transom?
Also, any links to any sites with the necessary parts would be awesome. I try searching on iboats but have a tough time navigating the boat parts section.
Thanks in advance
