Re: 58 Johnson super seahorse 35 cooling trouble
Hi Porto<br />You should be able to find those thermo-melts at an industral supply. I asked this same question to one of my mentors years back. He just chuckled and asked what I need them for. To tell how hot my motors were I explained. He told me just dip up a hand full of water from the tank. drizzle it over the head/cyl area of the power head. If the drizzle sizzles shes too hot. If the drizzle beads up rolls around and steams while slowly drying, your good to go. I have used this simple method ever since and it has never failed. I do now have a meter with a temp probe. Maybe some day I will try it out. Remeber that when under way most all exhaust and water is sucked out the main exhaust behind the prop. So you may not veiw much activity at the exhaust relief port. The exhaust relief port is to give the exhaust some where to go when sitting still. If it was not there you would have a plugged exhaust pipe. Does this make sence?
