First timer here...
So, after a long winter in the south I was eager to get the boat back in the water... I wanted to do some maintenance before I took her out, so I did the usual..gear oil, f/w seperator, primer bulb, plugs, etc... I also changed the impeller..
Got her in the water, made it a quarter mile and the buzzer started going off..Once I throttled back to idle, I saw white smoke coming out the exhaust.. Obviously I limped back home very slowly... This buzzer/smoking continued intermittently until I got ashore..
Please help... I have been told to clean the poppet valve, but I cannot locate the damn thing.. I plan to change the thermostat...Also, I noticed when changing the impeller that the exhaust plate was corroded..Could that cause this???? Please help..
Thanks
