Re: Runnin hot...bah!I'm going to build an engine
No, not yet. I'm in no hurry, season is over now for me.
I think I'm going to build an engine stand and take the motor off for the winter. I have access to a huge garage/workshop for the winter. I'll figure it out and fix it ;) I'm going to remove everything off the transom too. Transducer, speedo probe and swim platform. I want to re-drill the holes (oversized), fill with resin then remount. I may install transducer in bilge. If not, i will 5200 a piece of Starboard and mount to that. Pretty sure my transom is solid...wanna make sure it stays that way. If I'm keeping the boat I want to install Bennett Tabs too. I would like to remove bowrail too, we'll see. Calling for 2" of snow here in the AM!!

Re: Runnin hot...bah!
Yea and I will be out standing in for the opening of deer season here.
Tin I removed my bow rail. Glad I did. Looks sweet and accentuates the sweet lines of the boat. Looks like something out of a carolina boat shop.

Re: Runnin hot...bah!
well Tinman..i dropped mine in the water last night after replacing my steering cable....first time in water since i hit that sand bar.....so i was finally gonna get a chance to test that new pump....got up on plane and immediately got a overheat alarm ..this time at 25-30mph...strange..i turned around and headed back in...got to dock and took off cowling...engine was HOT...unlike the last times the alarm went off and it was cool to touch....narrowed it down to starboard side for temp switch that went off......all thats left to do now is tear this thing apart and go through all water passageways :( gonna put mine on the stand too and go through it with a fine tooth comb.

Re: Runnin hot...bah!
You don't have to tear your motor apart. I had an Evinrude 185 with the same problems. My marine mechanic pumped a descaler thru the block and made the passages look like new, and it ran much cooler. There are products similar to rydlyme on the market. Google them and you'll see how it works. My mechanic didn't take anything apart on my motor. I'd call around and chat with some marine mechanics before tearing into your motor. Just my $.02
