i think the sensors are set to trip at about 180. not sure where i read that, I have been researching all over the web. When I had my engine installed, they put a 165(?) deg thermostat in. I was having some oil consumption issues and took it to another shop for warranty check. they told me that...
I hadnt thought of that. I'm not even sure I have a high water alarm. I've got a high water pump, but the water level is no where near that. It's not even enough water to pump out with the pumps on the manual switch. I will look into that though.
According to the diagram I looked at, the single...
thanks for the info. Risers are warm but not too hot. I will check again after acceleration.
I went through the factory manual and about 10 websites trying to figure out part numbers. I found a pic of the housing and it pictured both units. took the part numbers and cross referenced them on the...
I replaced the entire pump, seals and housing in the outdrive. Seawater pump, yes circulating pump, I have not replaced yet. No Drive lube bottle
I'm thinking sensor because the alarm seems to go off prematurely. Oil pressure is where it always has been. I would expect that low oil pressure...
I've always got a little water in there from the rain. the pumps are mounted up pretty high and I've never seen the bilge totally dry. Are you thinking circulator pump? I did try to look for water dripping when the engine is running, but didnt see anything.
I've got an 89 220DA with a 5.7 Alpha One/Gen I
I noticed a few weeks ago that sometimes when I would accelerate over 3000rpm my alarm would sound. it would immediately stop as soon as I backed off. Thinking maybe my water pump was getting old, I replaced it this weekend. Took it back out and...
I;ve had my boat for 5 yrs and have never used the AC. I do not have a genny. I need to be plugged in. in fact my boat would require 2 cords to use the AC. then I would have to prime the water pump. then worry about something getting sucked into the intake and blocking the water flow. So I fire...
If everything else is sound, that sounds like an incredible price. I love my 89 220da. I am in the process of restoring everything a little at a time. I have WAY more than that in my boat. I would recommend the 350 if you are going to do a replacement. I think the 220DA is a classic. they dont...
I have an old 1989 220DA, 350 Mercruiser Alpha One, Gen I.
This weekend I hit something with the prop and chipped it up pretty bad. I replaced it with an identical size and pitch loaner from my neighbor. After replacement, I took it out in the river for a test. very little vibration, but when I...
