Cooling Problem w/ 4.3 GL vovlo I/O
A quick note to all..... I had purchased the expansion plugs that utilize the bolt to set in place. As I had expected, I could nt get to one of the holes due to the motor mount. The explanation on how to remove the mount while bracing the motor with a bottle jack worked great! I was able to easily install the plug and re-install the motor mount. Once this was completed, I put on the ear muffs and started the engine..... NO LEAKS!!!!!! I do have one more question before I can return to the waters..... The discharge of the water is not only coming out of the center of the prop but also at the base of the lower unit (at the point where it attaches to the boat). There is a plate that is bolted in this area and I want to ensure this is a dischargearea for the water. Jeff |
