    Clicking noise when rev,d up

    I first noticed it out on the water. Now I have it on the muffs. This all started because I was running hot. After 1700 bucks at the marina for the heat issue it turned out my temp sensor wasn’t matched to my Faria beede guage. So it reads almost 30 degrees hotter than what the motor actually...

    Clicking noise when rev,d up

    Thanks Qboy. My experience with that marina was terrible. They first said the flappers were fine, then said one was missing and thought it may have fallen in so I thought that might be causing the clicking I’m hearing.

    Clicking noise when rev,d up

    Hello I have a 2004 mercruiser 4.3L with a alpha 1 gen 2 outdrive. After months of waiting to get it back from the marina I finally got to use my boat this summer. I am noticing a clicking noise when the outdrive is down and motor is reved up. Does not happen at idle or low rpm’s. At least not...

    2004 2052 Trophy pro fish well operation

    Hey everyone! Well I finally got my boat together and everything is going great as far as running. I have 2 fish wells in the back of the boat one on each side of the motor bay. They only have 1 port each. I can empty each one fine but hell if I can figure out to fill them. I replaced the...

    Over heating 4.3, 1995 non vortec

    Griff , i saw the post but was having a little trouble following it. I have 6 hoses to the top of the motor. 2 run to the popit, 2 to the elbows, an inlet and outlet I believe. They said they checked the popit valve and everything looked straight.

    Over heating 4.3, 1995 non vortec

    Hi chris, Thanks for your advice. Im so lost on this it ain’t funny. I know just enough to be dangerous. They were supposed to have switched out the elbow and riser to test it. Only going by what they said they did. I just don’t believe the problem is in the head gasket. Mechanic states...

    Over heating 4.3, 1995 non vortec

    Forgot this part. No impeller was not changed due to the fact engine is getting lots of water intake.

    Over heating 4.3, 1995 non vortec

    Hi joe! Yes i made sure i told them i wanted them to actually very that it was indeed over heating. So they screwed in a mechanical guage to verify. I asked about the wye pipe and they said it looks good. They also said that would not cause the water to discharge so rapidly.

    Over heating 4.3, 1995 non vortec

    Idk Im questioning everything at this point. The guy at the marina said the side thats heating up is putting out alot of water. The other side only kinda spits out water. He said the side that just spits water a little at a time was the way it’s supposed to work. He said if runs straight thru...

    Over heating 4.3, 1995 non vortec

    Hello everyone, Ive run into quite a head scratcher. I have a 1995 , 4.3. Engine was rebuilt and has approximately 3 hours on it. It’s currently at the marine shop so i dont have it to look at. I sent it to the shop to have the timing set correctly and see why it was running hotter than it...

    Help a new guy out . Pcv valve

    Hi Scott, Yes i realize there is a hp difference. It's not much though. I believe my motor is rated at 175 and the original was at 190. Pulling a motor from a junkyard is always an option but then again it would still need work. The cost of machine work and rebuilding would have been more than...

    Help a new guy out . Pcv valve

    Hi Scott, The original motor wasn't winterized correctly. oil filter was completely filled with water and compression was really low on 3 cylinders.. exhaust manifold was cracked also. I would have liked to stay with the vortec heads but who knows if they are good. could very well have been...

    Help a new guy out . Pcv valve

    Upon further inspection, if you look at the bottom of the picture there's a tab on the base of the plastic.. I had the dang thing on upside down! I'm guessing that's where the tubes hook up. I pulled the elbow and it is indeed a pcv valve. Someone must have added it or screwed up. I'll just...
