    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    So that flapper I could just install on top of the exhaust bellow or to replace the exhaust bellow? I don't think the engine has a vacuum break valve in the elbows what would that look like?

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Yea I think shutters on the Y pipe would be a good idea or flapper somewhere, I speak to some techs if this can be done. I know Volvo got rid of them back in the 90's however Merc has always used them and I don't believe they had any issues. Maybe there is a kit I can find somewhere for the...

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Hey Lou, thanks for your continued input and following the thread, The hydro lock is a few minutes after slowing down never when at full throttle or on plane. It happens intermittent once I slow down and cruise for a bit. The only difference from two weeks ago when it didn't happen versus...

    Yes I did get the boat weigh and all the data was previously posted a few pages back on this thread. I believe I was around 700lbs overweight however I am still waiting for a survey to come by and check to see if there is water hiding anywhere.

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    I've been looking into more doing some pressure testing however not sure how to do that. I've seen some videos that show to to pressure test the exhaust manifold and risers so I think i will try that today. The only place it would leak from would be the riser gaskets but both are brand new from...

    Update as of today. Took the boat out last 2 weekends ago and it ran fine. I had 8 people total and did a few slow downs and the engine never hydro locked. So I thought the taller risers did the trick. Turns out I was wrong. Today took the boat out with 6 people and went for a 15 mins cruise at...

    Lost Neutral and Reverse - Uh oh!

    I think it was that impact from the rock that I hit. I really don't think it was in there securely. There was no washer and the cotter pin was pretty old and rusted. So I put a new cotter pin and washer in there. It's running great now. Is this the black box you are referring too? I am...

    So I think that black cable goes to the anoides on the bottom of the boat on the transom.

    Hello Fellow boaters. I took my boat out for some test runs to check some other issues I was having with my boat this past Monday and it seems like I must of hit a rock or something hard in the no wake zone. Definitely felt a vibration upon impact then it went away. The boat was running fine...

    I have a surveyor which is going to come out in two weeks to provide me with moisture readings and see what else he can find out. I sent him all the info which I've posted along with pics and videos. So hopefully that will get me somewhere. While I wait for him to come out I plan on getting on...

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Correct it is one of those. but you really can't see anything in there, it is literally just to access the pick up tube and a few hoses. No way to see the sides of the tank. I plan to go back to the marina on Wednesday and take my shop vac. Ill see if anything is clogged between the fuel tank...

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    No I don't believe it does I think the gas tank is in it's own separate compartment. But I would have to believe that the limber hole goes below it as well.

    Higher risers will make the boat safer to prevent water getting ingested. Plus I can sell the original risers since they are practically brand new. Might take a small loss on them but better have the higher ones for better insurance.

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Nada actually shows the 300hp engine with there 5200lb weight. Anyways, the shop is going to have their fiberglass guy come by and use his moisture meter on my boat. In the meantime I will be putting on higher risers on the boat and see if the issue does go away.

    New Engine Replacement - Engine Died and Hydro locked after 5 hrs!?

    Okay I will remove that one as well tomorrow. I removed the truck from the scale and have the tongue jack. Not sure if it was a separate scale or not regardless the total gross weight was the important factor which was the 8240lb I did some more math to include the dual batteries, 8 speakers...
