"I have a 1991 Wellcraft scara
"I have a 1991 Wellcraft scarab Excel 28ft. i bought this boat approx. 3 years agao...it came with a 454 which ran perfect for 2 years... I ran it aground in a shallow part of the lake. Right after that my raw water pump went out....causing the boat to run hot. Starting getting water in the oil. I thought it had a blown head gasket, so i replaced them....didnt solve it...so i just bought me a new 502 from GM...installed it...same thing...ran it for approx 1 hour, water in oil again....ended up pulling the manifolds off the motor and left all the hoses attached...and started the engine...water was running out of the exhaust ports...manifolds were cracked...replace them with new ones. Just ran it again today....noticed steam coming from my crackcase vent just like before...! Water in oil again...this is driving me crazy...can anyone help, with any advise? Motor still runs fine...i dont know where to go form here?
Thanks Russ"
