"Long story short! Bought a 94
"Long story short! Bought a 94 Searay BR 7/07. Sat for 2 years prior with 10 hrs on rebuilt engine. Impeller was replaced at purchase. Ran great til overheat 9/07. Blew 5th cyclinder and piston. Same engine rebuilt over winter. Back in business 7/08. out a few time so far. Circpump, tstat and fuel pump are new "supposedly".
Here is my problem. In slip, temp runs at steady 170ish. While moving, jumps from 200 down to 100 than back and forth. Never seeme to pin at 220, but jumps all over the place. Afraid to run, don't want a rebuild again. Was told I should be able to keep my hand on the risers and manifold without burning. I cannot.
Any thoughts? If I were truly overheating, wouldn't gauge pin at 220?"
