Well the news is not good. Believe we have a blown head gasket on the starboard side. Got water in the oil. The IR on port reading 150 and on the starboard side reading around 185.
Update on the boat:
Just got back from the lake.
I didn’t take it out on the water I kept the boat on the trailer. After replacing the circulation pump. Let it run for close to 15 minutes.
Temp got up a little past 170. One manifold is a little hotter than the other. The risers are cold to the...

I’m about to hook up hose and check with the IR. I took off the output of the raw water pump stuffed water hose down in the hose started taking off hoses one by one and have water coming out all hoses. Only one left to check is the hose that goes up to the T coupling from the distribution...
I haven’t looked into the check valve. I took it for granted I will check that as well. I got lazy thinking it either works or it’s doesn’t with the check valve. I need to look at the drain system again I can’t think off stop of my head as to which I have. I think it’s a 7 not sure. I can think...
