1995 VP 5.0L SX 550hrs on 1969 24ft Tolly
Just had both risers, manifolds, and flappers replaced with new OEM parts and I seem to be running at 170F at guage.The stbd riser is 84.5F and the port is 102.5F. Will shoot the thermostat temp when I check next.
Going to check all seawater input hoses, and then check port flapper for proper operation.
HE flashlight test shows 90% clear tubes.
I did have a seawater impeller failure prior, and decided to change out risers and manifold while we were at it. There may be impeller bits blocking something.
[Q] Which supply is the steering pump cooler on this engine? Could that be restricting?
Other items I should check or test?
