Good morning, so yes I bought this as a special deal knowing about this error and the cost to replace parts, but with a huge gap between the price market and what I pay for it. hoping to sell it after enjoying the rest of the summer and keep an eye on OB, future question about which are the best...
next time will be definitely outboard but.. I'm in the learning process of paying the fee here and there for be a newbie..
the question is should I buy a new check valve or use the same old ones...
also, yesterday got an error in the trim sensor so I will try to clean it or hardly remplace it.
Update,
I ended called a mercury mechanic certificated, after connecting the computer he noticed too high pressure in water pressure due to a bad manifolds and riser .5 gph when the normal is around 2. so I ordered today new manifolds and risers (2100 $) ....it hurt. hoping that after this work...
alldodge thanks! enjoy your grandson!!! have a great weekend!.
I will keep thinking about what else could be... may be head gasket at this point. or new manifolds and riser but water moves there without issue.
I saw you have the same motor on the chap 280? but with heat exchange?.. question...
alldodge I just got home after all day working on the boat removed the crossover / the poppet valve / all the hose cleaned and sadly nothing changed .
the crossover right now it clean as a new and from inside the holes I put some rust remover and cleaned (lot of dark water come out when put...
What do you mean from the bottom? the check valves? I couldn't took out the check valves (was glued I guess) but when I insert water in the main holes (where water goes and come to cool the exhaust) a thin flow of water comes out of the check valve. I calculate because the inner ball was...
Alldodge yes you right for me too. something is clogged here there or maybe head gasket burned as louC suggest but I don’t know what!
My first shot was manifold and riser I tried really hard to clean with acids brushes all the debris rust from the conductors cuz the parts were solid not weak ...
No no alldodge that photo is actually the circulation water pump yesterday before put again.
Right now I put again the original black hose from assembly to the water pump and noticed air bubbles from assembly to the thermostat in the kinked hose.
Temp at idle went to 180 here at salt water...
I didn’t disarm the crossover yet but sure I will do and will clean as I did with every single part I took out from this motor. thanks again alldodge for your support always
Guys yesterday I took out the circulation water pump from the motor to see better inside .
I tried cuz was so hard saw inside and yes inside are all the vanes (posted a YouTube video to show to you)
At idle with garden hose and a bucket full of water the temp stays at 155 and the kinked clear...
yes, I put a new thermostat in the crossover.
circulation water pump ( 8m0116534 ... 370$) is the only thing I did not change when disarmed and but I checked if move smoothly and it did, I tried to check the vanes with a screwdriver and I couldn't .. anyways the last thing.. I will disarm the...
LouC, yes I guess depending the brand you bought it. I started with one that I personally didn't like and then I purchased another that works much better and looks more solid as well.
So today I made two tests before hit the water tomorrow if I could.
1st I put again only one original black...
Yes Sir alpha is the first version.. and is what I got right now.
About the valve I can’t use because if I put it at the bottom water entrance hose of the motor the raw impeller in the alpha steam drive I guess is going to burn out . That why I chose in my inexperience the dual flush rubber to...
LouC yes your motor is running in another temperature at all..
your brother's boat is similar to mine if is the alpha 4.5 version, if it the bravo instead this motor has a heat exchanger.
hope on water test got some good results.. I keep you posted.
