    Impeller housing overheating

    possibly easy to clean out suggestion: get an OMC factory shop manual. I have the same engine as you and have used the manual every year saved tons of money. BTW do you still have the one piece batwing exhaust manifolds on yours? If so and you are going keep the boat consider up grading to the...

    Impeller housing overheating

    Who makes it? Sierra or GLM ? I"d try ordering an OE OMC/BRP housing and impeller kit. I never had that problem with theirs.

    Impeller housing overheating

    when the hose is disconnected water should flow out, and when its connected it should flow out of the end of the hose Sometimes what happens is people mix and match OE and aftermarket parts. If you have an OE housing, use an OE impeller kit, if you have a Sierra impeller kit use a Sierra...

    Volvo penta Mechanical fuel pump

    it would help if you have your volvo penta model number, that is a start at least but the standard marine mechanical fuel pump is what you need on the Chevy V8. Keep in mind this is operated by a pushrod that runs off the camshaft, these can be a bit tricky to install.

    Impeller housing overheating

    You're saying you get flow up to the impeller mount when you install your water muffs, and then when you start the engine, the impeller overheats? well one possibility is the that little nipple on the impeller housing, (connected to the hose that plugs into the gear housing) that has to be open...

    Bellows Adhesive application

    I use Evinrude gasket sealer ... it works well not too slippery and never hardens up. The Cobra has a groove in the gimble housing flange and a ridge on the bellows flange you have to line up....does the Alpha?

    Outdrive Remove in storage or not?

    Well outside of winterizing removing the drive is part of the drive service; you do this to check the driveshaft bellows for water and check & lubricate the gimble bearing & u joints. The splines of the input shaft get a coating of OMC triple guard grease and you should also check engine...

    1988 GM OMC 5L points gap???

    the easiest way to do it is to hook up a dwell meter and a remote starter switch, crank the engine over while watching the meter, set it at the lower end of the dwell range because this equates to a slightly larger point gap; they will stay in spec longer.

    1993 4.3 engine winterization

    yep because cast iron always rusts. Anti seize works on things that don't get wet but sometimes it can cause galvanic corrosion depending on the metals in contact and what's in the anti seize. For aluminum you don't want a copper based anti seize.....The gasket sealer works great, a test: I have...
