"I have a 1999 Sea Ray 280BR with a 454 Mag MPI 385HP and the Temp warning would come on when at high RPM (220deg)I would then slow it down to idle and temp would fall to 170deg. Well, this happened about 5 times, and then the starboard side PCV valve on top of the Valve Cover blew off and a mixture of Water and Oil started erupting out of the PCV hole in the valve cover. I immediately turned the motor off and have not tried to start it yet. This happened today and I got a tow back to the ramp. Where should I begin? I want to do this work myself. I am immediately thinking blown Head Gasket. Any help from anyone would be much appreciated. This was my first day out in the boat and my wife is ready to slit my throat. HELP!!!"
