"Hi There
I have an 02 Mercruiser 4.3TKS V6. The starboard riser appeared to be overheating (could only put your hand on it for 4-5sec before it was too hot to touch)after being ran for a few hours.Port side did not have much heat in it at all. The temp gauge was flucutating from 150-180F all day.Also, when flushing out, steam was coming from the rear of the boat on starboard side. I have remove risers/manifolds and water pump mounted on front of engine and all appear to be in good condition. Im not really sure what else to check for/where to chase the problem to from here.
Any ideas would be appreciated
Also, is 150-180F normal running temp. for this engine and is it normal for it to flucuate while running?
Thanks"
