Heat problem on 525's,

[Bradz]

You mentioned a new impellar. The old one came apart I am guessing. Back flushing with a hose does almost nothing. Find the missing rubber pieces causing the blockage.

Old impeller was like new. It was only a few months old, I replaced it anyway, just in case. Impeller never broke in this motor.. but thanks for the idea.

Did you get a chance to swap the intake lines to the sea water pump?

Saturdays project. Got the extra hose and fittings. Will know Saturday PM if there any issues with the outdrive intakes.

I might have found the problem.
Outdrive intakes are switched, testing in a few hours.
You guys will never guess what skeleton I found crawled up in the ..... Remember I live in Florida.

I got Hoffa taken care of under the Dan Ryan in Chicago.
Cig gets the beer for guessing Miss Geico's second cousin.

It was a lizard scelleton. Testing again this Sunuday will let you guys know.

Any up date?

[BradH]

I second the infrared thermometer. It takes the guess work out of "hot" and "hotter." And I don't miss the burns either!

[PARADOX]

Any up date?

I think I have it figured out. Lizard in the outrdive, by the hose albow.
Trying to test it this PM or Sat. AM.

Hope it works out for ya -

I was working on my cruiser the other day and one the trim pumps wasn't doing it's thing - figured bad connection or relay - so I crawl my not so skinny a$$ down the side of my stbd diesel to start jackin with it and find a snake skin - and not a small one - laying around the pump hoses. Now I'm pretty damn sure he wasn't in there - but holy hell can you imagine?? Getting out of that particular area is a b.i.t.c.h in itself - had that mother been in there it probably would of been ugly.

Update

Heat problem is GONE!!!! Woo Hoo. Fraking lizard gave me a major headache. Both motors run about 140 ish. Thanks for all the input guys.

If you boat in sandy ares and beach your boat or stir up the bottom in shallow areas, install sand strainer inserts or sand strainers on your boat.

Glad you found your problem.

Now back to the statement above.....where can a sand strainer insert be found for an Eddie Marine Sea Strainer?
