More than likely it’s a faulty pressure relief valve. I’m assuming this is happening when your water heater is on? I had the same issue; replaced the valve and good! Best of luck.
Hi mnm99, found your thread about engine removal from zf v drive. I’m in the process of lining up everything for replacement of my starboard block on my 2001 290 Amberjack, and want to attempt doing so without hauling out boat. My concern is realigning new block back to V drive. Would appreciate...

Thanks for your post. I've been noticing that my starboard engine has been increasingly hard to start, meaning I'm getting the audible beep when pushing rocker switch at dash, but it takes multiple pushes to get engine to turn over. Immediately cranks. I'm suspicious of rocker switch, but after...
