- 454 Mercruiser Bravo III Kohler Gen.
Bought the 290 I've been looking at. Spent all day today checking her out and getting familar with everything. Boy there is a lot of stuff on one of these boats. I did not take it out because I can't get it registered or insured until tomorrow. Ran it on shore power all day. A/C works good, fridge will freeze a coke in the top. I found a leak at the fresh water pump when I filled the tank. Just a loose connection. Also found about a quart of foul smelling water under the shower drain pump. It appeared to have been there a good while by the smell. I ran a lot of water in the shower & the pump works good. Could not find a leak. I am assuming the A/C drip pan also drains to this pump? Another question I had was, I thought the Kohler gen was raw water cooled but there is an exspansion tank on it that appears to have antifreeze in it. Is there an internal cooler that cools it? Also my boat has a "GOOD" Windlass on it. How in the world do you add a section of chain to your anchor? I don't think it will feed thru the windlass. Sorry to be so long winded but I think I really got the Bug!!
