ok i just recently got my boat running good again thanks to some smart people describing how to set my esa.
motor: 5.8l, 351 ford
outdrive: omc cobra
year: 1991
hull: four winns sundowner
my questions are:
1. there is a black hose probably 3/8's that is secured unto my starter, looks to be cut off no clue where it goes? it comes from under the engine towards the rear of the boat and about 10 inches past the starter its got a diagonal cut in it.
2. i get condensation on my motor is this from the heat of the cover? water evaporating from inside the hull that little bit that never comes out.
3. my oil preasure seems high to me idling at 40 and anything over about 2k rpm its near 70-75. it does need an oil change and i plan to do that before i go out next time. will changing the oil drop my presure a little bit?
4. i think i need a new impellor either this fall or next week i was out for about 2 hours today and after about an hour and half the temp decided to go above 150 and landed just above 175. so i backed off to idling for about 3 minuites it went down to about 150 and i took off for the ramp by the time i got back the the no-wake zone it was back to 160-170. where should my temp be at? i was told near 160 but if i am doing 20-25 mph i can run it at about 130-140, any more then that it seems to want to jump up to 175 is this normal?
