Thanks for your replies about the carpet....forget my husband being on this site all of the time...........I'm pretty much addicted...I like reading what everyone has to say.
We recently have experienced a recurring problem with the water pick-up or lack thereof in our starboard engine. The past three times that we have hauled out for fuel, and dropped back in we haven't had water coming out our exhast...and hence we've experienced temp increases. The first tmie it happened, by the time I had the trailer in the water for Chris to load it seemed to fix itself. So we and everyone else our mechanic included assumed we had gotten an air lock. Then 2 weeks ago we put in for the Poker Run and again it happened and we took off the water intake hose and put a garden hose to it and it cleared it again and we were off. But it happened again on Labour Day Monday and its now pissing me off. Our mechanic is coming over tomorrow and all that any of us can think is that it is the impellor. But we do have a new impellor, but not a new housing and cover....could this be the problem. I would appreciate all input I can get. The boat is powered by twin stock 460's with King Cobra's.
Thanks...from "Break-down Alley"....BW :(
