You guys just can't give it a rest, can you?

I don't understand his nasty attitude. Talk about negative Karma!

I've told you what it is. Herring and "Smithers" can't help themselves.
They work overtime at facilitating strife. It's their rice bowl.

Hey, if I call you an asshole and you respond, that's two posts. But the
pair of them will add 53 comments each. You tell me who has the problem.
:-)


Well it was a nice thread till Herring piped in. At least Reggie showed
more class with his nice comments. John is once again showing himself to be
the person he blames other people of being.

Some reason you deleted, "Glad it wasn't serious, but I'd sure be looking
at replacing the manifolds
and risers before it becomes something serious in a boat nigh on ten years
old."

Does deleting portions of posts make yours more credible, Harry. I know
some folks will stoop to this, but I'd thought better of you!

This is hilarious...
You still throw comments indicating he brings misfortune upon himself by
his own actions. Blame the victim syndrome....

Herring is facilitating...

Yup, I'm trying to facilitate JimH getting an answer to his thermostat
question.

Don, many people bring misfortune upon themselves by their own actions. My
failure to replace the manifolds and risers in my boat when I should have
brought me some misfortune last year.

The marina replaced the impeller, lower unit pump and thermostat on the boat
yesterday. Out of 12 blades on the impeller, 3 were totally gone, 3 were
half gone and the remainder had cuts and nicks on the ends. This was not
damage that happened in one day but it certainly caused my overheating on
July 1st.

JimH,
In the other thread concerning the 140 degree thermostat, I mentioned I
would be hesitant to do business with a the mechanic who forgot to
change the impeller as requested and you wondered where I got that idea.
I was thinking about this thread. When I read this, I thought you
were saying you asked the marina to replace the impeller and they forget.

I have always viewed mechanics like any other service oriented business
, including doctors and dentists, you really do need to trust them 100%.
It might just be me, but this guy would have lost my trust.

If the marina replaced the impeller when I asked them to earlier this season
I would never have had the overheating problem. I will let them slide on
this one but will make sure it the impeller is replaced every 2 years in
spring prior to launch. No sense monkeying around with a $40 part.

After I installed the VHF radio and antenna on the boat today I took it out
for a test run. It runs good and the temperature did not go above 155 even
at WOT or low idle. So far it looks like the engine or risers did not
suffer any damage and I may have dodged a bullet this time.

With sunny skies and temperatures in the 80's forecast for this weekend,
combined with light southerly winds (meaning a flat Lake) we will be on the
boat both Saturday and Sunday. My daughter came home for the weekend and
will be joining us, making it even more special.

Maybe our string of bad luck has ended.......most likely due to good Karma
according to some. ;-)

That's my story and I am sticking to it!

Ok. Pre combustion "dieseling". That makes sense. I'm glad there
wasn't any further damage due to the over heat.

Good show, Jim.

well, that's one hassle out of the way.

Thanks!



What was causing the rough running? Or, did they say?


The overheating itself caused it, at least according to them.



I have the exact same engine, same year, and two years ago, the exact
same thing happened to me. The engine overheated while idling, and I
didn't notice the temp gauge (maybe I need an alarm)until it started to
run real rough, dieseling, the works. It was well over 200 at the time.
It was also a bad impeller. I replaced it. The guy who sold me the
impeller told me to check the thermostat housing to make sure I got all
the old pieces out. Sure enough there were several pieces up there.
Anyway, two years later, not one problem. I think you can rest easy.
Remember, in cars, those engines run with presurized cooling systems
north of 212 all the time. They can take it. By the way, get the 160
thermostat. Running too cool can cause carbon build up, plug fouling etc.
and also result in poor mileage.
