    5.7 Overheating

    Just before you do. Can you send a pic of the muffs on the drive, that you are using ?

    5.7 Overheating

    Yeah. For sure. Best of luck and let us know how you go.

    5.7 Overheating

    I’m thinking the same. Did you use a full kit or just the impeller itself? Sorry to ask, but was the impeller secured and was there a woodruff key present ? I’d take that hose off the power steering cooler and see if you’re getting water, if all the above is well.

    Tach setting

    They are made by fariah…as far as I know.

    Tach setting

    Just had a wee look online there. There is a fariah guide for settings. Might also mention a adaptor kit too.

    Props, so many options

    Never a truer word said. Just last week I changed my 19” tempest plus over to the 19” laser 2. Just astonishing the difference in how the boat behaves, performs and difference in rpm too. Sitting cruising at 19 mph, the laser has to be around 300+rpm

    Tach setting

    Is this with the choke on, cold and out the water ? Or when it’s in gear, warmed up and in water ?

    Props, so many options

    Just think how well she’ll go with a good 3 blade stainless ! Fast boats these wee glastrons. I’ve got a big v6 merc 150 2 stroke on my cvx16. Last time out, she ran out of prop at 66.6 mph and way over revving with a 23”. I also ram out of bravery about there too 😂

    5.7 Overheating

    Should also mention that some muffs just don’t do a good job of it at all. Best to have really tight fitting ones. Always found that some work and some either don’t or struggle. Anything that isn’t extremely snug fitting is a waste of time.

    Electric Engine Conversion?

    Love the engineering aspirations of the idea…but the reality for most might not end so well. Jet boats are fundamentally very inefficient and high reccing by nature. Any thoughts on the efficiency of current professionally made electric crafts currently can be expected to double on a jet boat...

    5.7 Overheating

    Still a little strange that you aren’t getting water out t stat…but you are from prop ?

    Upgrading, or downgrading?

    Hi. I was very familiar with an identical regal and engine. At her very best and after a few props, she would do around 52/53 mph running very light. The main issue was that even with an all rounder prop that would be a little less on top speed and hitting the limiter…try sitting anyone in the...

    Where to find missing boat piece.

    Hi. A friend and I run a campion owners group on Facebook (yes I know, I know !). But there are a few employees from campion in the group. Just recently campion announced that things weren’t going so well and had lots of parts advertised from the factory. Have a look and see. Ps. Campion likely...

    Ignition Issue

    Is she carb, efi or mpi ?

    5.7 Overheating

    Is there a power steering cooler is it coming out the prop and or the transom shield ? Have you got the intake hose on right side of thermostat

    5.7 Overheating

    What outdrive is she attached to ? Presumably it has suitable cooling set up ?

    Do VP 5.7 differ in winterizing procedures?

    Hi. Yeah. I wouldn’t fog that engine the traditional way. The same engine but in mercruiser form, actually has instruction in the manual now to run 2 stroke through the fuel to fog it. Avoiding havoc with sensors and throttle body issues otherwise.

    89 Volvo Penta AQ271C ignition or carb, maybe something else

    Ok. Sounds like you’re on the right track then. Don’t think you’ll have a rev limiter to be honest. And certainly nowhere near those rpms. Quite sure of it. I also know that a lot of these have had their ignition system upgraded over the years too. A friend with repower engines not long ago...
