Its been a while since I have been here, boat has been running great until the weekend.
Wife and I went out to Sea Fair in Seattle,*A night run. Boat ran great and I did look at the gauges and everything was good.
it was a 2 hour 5-7 knot run. just before getting into the dock the Starboard alarm went off, 280 degree temp.
Today I double checked everything but noticed when I started up the engine some antifreeze was coming out and then started to
become foamy and then just plain old water. I took out the them stat and noticed my antifreeze level was low, not gone just low.
I top off and then put the therm stat casing back and started the engine. It ran good, nice water flow and the level held on the coolent side.
I did notice that the right side riser and elbow was hotter then the otherside, could I have broken some of the internal ports that
allowed some antifreeze out the exhaust. Should I just replace that side for now, I have one extra at the house with gaskets?
Years ago I did have the portside riser have a blow out, just at the 90 before it contects to the exhaust rubber pipe then the muffler, it was a
big hole.
I checked the oil and there is no white film or water inside the pan, it looks good. So I will asume I did not blow an engine.
