    Exhaust bellow slipped off

    Hopefully without too much of a thread highjack scenario here, by chance Muc, Jmunk and any others, do you all know of any floating rumors out there of the quicksilver bellows adhesive not holding up (or should I say on) like years past? I have been seeing on different, active MerCruiser...

    persistant overheating issue.

    Yes. buy a new thermostat then check it the same way you do before you install it as it may help give some indication…. 188 is to warm.

    persistant overheating issue.

    Might be worth trying a new or another new? Thermostat being yours seems to open at 180 vs the recommended 170 these use from stock… https://www.perfprotech.com/thermostat-864493/product/188250 Does it only get hot and sound the alarm when under way on the water, (< what RPM sets it off?)...

    Post number 9, yes it appears the level could be roughly a quart and a half over full which could also affect oil pressure readings…. Did this oil issue start before or after the oil change? Engine serial number is always nice to have to confirm correct engine parts to be used/shown but item...
