Probably a stupid question so apologies up front.
I have a thru Hull seawater intake on the bottom of my 07 260 (5.7, B3, 350 hrs). With that, can you still experience “Bravoitis”?
Reason I ask, I overheated today on the water so I’m going to start troubleshooting.
Original thoughts:
1. Make sure the lines are clear from the raw water intake.
2. Check impeller condition and hoses to and from impeller
3. Last, check water pump.
Any sign or symptoms I should check, specifically? The boat did go into “guardian mode” I think, and I did notice a small amount of smoke coming from aft of the engine, starboard side, when I stopped the engine and opened the hatch.
