Well, I spent yesterday trying to tighten Paragon oil lines on my starboard engine to stop an annoying leak. Had to get creative to get to some of those fittings! I think I just about stopped the leak, so off for a test drive.....Starboard transmission seems fine, yeah! Temperature on the port engine climbs past its normaly rock steady operating temp past the 195 mark....back to the dock
I think it's proabaly a t-stat stuck closed. Water is coming out the exhaust...the impeller on the sea water pump is 1 year old with only 30-40 hours on it.
When I changed the circulation pump on the port side a couple months ago, I had the t-stat housing off and I could not get the t-stat out...it seemed to be pressed into the housing. Are there any tricks to get it out, or just get aggressive??? Also I need a source to buy new one. Are they 140 or 160 degrees? Any help would be great.
Did someone say these boats require a little work most of the time and a lot of work some of the time!!!!!!
