"The data:
I have 1991 twin
"The data:
I have 1991 twin 350 Crusaders… RWC
Both engine thermostats are 160F
Both engine temp gauges never go above 160F
The stbd engine, when running, has, exhaust water coming out the exhaust pipes almost like a tranquil waterfall.
The port engine, when running, has exhaust water coming out the exhaust pipe as if there were two clowns in the pipes spitting out the water and adding a lot of steam for a cosmic visual effect.
The manifold temps, just prior to the exhaust hoses are;
Stbd engine is 85C
Port Engine (steamer) 95-97C
No mufflers…gotta love that straight through 350 rumble !!!
The plan…..
Start at the Sea cocks to ensure the Raw Water intake is not being obstructed
Check the impellor…although they were both changed, on spec, last year
Check the water pump is getting full belt tension
Not sure here……oil cooler lines???
Last but not least …remove the manifolds and have them professionally cleaned and then put the whole jigsaw back together.
Appreciate any further suggestions/ideas or comments
PS…..Boat is being pulled out today…..it is cool up here north of the 49th
