Not sure they allow those where Ted lives

Received the new bolt and installed, so it's ready (I hope) :confused: When replacing the bolt I had to remove the step just inside to gain access, dealer did also. Found some issues there also and fixed them On a very good note, I bought the boat from Bay Marine and told them about the...

Welcome If you just dropped the lower half of the drive, then no issue Move throttle to forward Rotate shift shaft until the prop locks in Reverse (note Rev not Fwd) Raise the lower half into upper half

I have 2 covers shipped with my old chap but they were to small for the Mercs, and no way would fits yours, most likely were for Yam's. Sooner or later I'll find a use for them

We can keep guessing for a very long time, until you do some testing we may never know

Being in sale water, you most likely have build up which is restricting flow. Best way to find that is in water with clear tubing. Might even need to move the tubing around to find where the issue(s) are. Being a 2006 with 373 hours in salt water my first thought is the exhaust manifolds might...

Is this how the motor is run on the hose or do you use Muffs? Are you in fresh or salt water? When boat is in the water is this hosed capped off?

Post a few pics of your motor

You said it over heats if it idles for a while, I'm assuming you in the water because you also said it doesn't if your above 1000 rpms. We can only work with what you tell us So does it over heat on a hose?

With boat in the water and not on a hose there should be no bubbles. Seeing bubbles means the impeller is cavitating or there is a hose or connection allowing air to be sucked in. You get air means less water, less water and things get hotter

Ok THIS should be your motor This is the open cooling system with 3 point drain And this shows the check balls that are in the bottom of the exhaust manifolds The check balls should remain closed when the motor is running, and open up when motor is off. They are used to drain water during...

Moved to the Merc section and thanks for serial number Looks like your motor can have open or closed cooling and if open can have 3 or 7 point drain system, can you clarify?

Welcome Your issue isn't a Sea Ray problem it's a motor problem. What is in your boat and we'll move the thread to that area. If you have a serial number that would be most helpful

The single point works great for dealers. They drain, back boat into a tank filled with -200AF and run until warmed up, never a problem. Back yard guy doesn't have same setup

Appears to be nothing, and looks like dingbat has it covered If I see a thread that no one has responded to and there have had many views (over 24 hours old, over 200 views) I'll do a quick look and find something that "might" help. My comment didn't help but it caused the thread to come back...

Buddy just sold 65 guns at auction, had a several high end ones. Bought them through the years and most were never fired. Bought as investment, then decided to down size Many Colts, Browning, Winchester and others. I don't "need" anymore (have to many also) and should do the same with some of...

This is a motor issue not a problem to the Seaswirl so moved thread to VP motor section to get more eyes on it.

Being a VP/OMC I'll take it as a first Gen GL-so make it a A model This is a low pressure pump and original part number appears to be replaced by 856955. Sierra 18-7326 and you might find others looking. Search for VP low pressure fuel pump With it running for short time and still nothing...

No expert on the Optimax but I'm finding that most likely the poppet valve might be stuck

That number doesn't work for some reason VP Lookup Is your motor a GL- A, B, C, D etc? The GL motors use a fuel pump relay and the relay is powered during cranking from the key and once running it gets power from the Alternator. Each feed has a diode inline and if it does power up while...
