    Bunk carpet

    I am pulling my boat this week, I only use my trailer twice a year, once in/ once out, is it worth recarpeting my bunks? Or can I just get small pieces to wrap around existing carpet where it's torn, I store in heated shop

    Merc 350 mag mpi HELP! 200°

    OK follow up on today's post, ran the boat fir 4 hours today, temp guage still a little wacky, creeping up to almost 210, thermostat housing always stayed at 160ish, exhaust manifolds ran 190/200ish and risers were a cool 100° all day! I'm pretty certain it's a gauge issue, thanks for all the...

    That makes perfect sense, heading out in a couple hours, I can't remember if I checked the temp of risers, but I'm really hoping they are gonna be around 100 when I check, fingers crossed! I'll keep ya posted

    It isn't really overheating, just hot at exhaust manifolds, block cool and thermostat housing also 160°

    So if the part that I circled is not super hot, but just the sides of sides that I was taking temp of is only high, and thermostat housing is also around 160, will that be ok?

    Apparently it's not so much the exhaust manifolds getting hot that's an issue, just want to make sure risers are not showing super hot, I'm guessing these are risers?

    Merc 350 mag mpi HELP! 200°

    The head gasket issue worries me bad, the good signs is my oil looks clean, no white smoke and runs really well, I'm going to check my hoses today, when checking with IR the entire engine block seems right temp, but that 200 plus on exhaust manifold freaked me out, newbie!

    and wouldn't you think if temp was actually what it says on guage, i would have alarms sounding or gone to limp mode?

    I agree, I believe the dash guage is whacky, it's inconsistent

    Merc 350 mag mpi HELP! 200°

    I'm running out of options, I have a 2003 merc 350 mag with bravo3, runs incredible, water temp gauge reading 180 while at low rpms and as soon as i get on lake jumps to 200 plus, changes impeller, tstat (160) temp sender, did some IR readings and the area where the tstat goes and the ecm...

    and ONE more thing, the alarm everyone talks about, is it the alarm I hear when I turn the key on, or is it the horn?
