I forgot to mention last fishing trip I was running down the river at WOT to frighten the rowers out of my way and I had an alarm go off, a continuious beep coming from my controller. YIKES!
 I checked the pee hole and water was flowing so I slowed down to a stop, water was still flowing and the alarm was still going. I turned off the motor and waited 30 seconds and fired it back up again, no alarm so off we went for the day fishing without any further problems but I didn't try WOT again. I guess that will teach me not to drive at WOT anymore, no WOT = no alarm.

Watt?
Heads off, water galleries all cleaned out, new water deflectors fitted and compression tested. Tomorrow I'll give it an engine clean, I like shiny things.

Don't forget to add double the oil. You know - like last time. Make sure you shake up the tank to mix it through, otherwise you will sputter to a stop and run into the bullrushes.
Can I bring my boat over for you to clean it as well? |

QUOTE Make sure you shake up the tank to mix it through Just a point of interest KK did you know that to comply with the TCW3 certification the oil only has to completely mix after 10 inversions. Makes me wonder how many people are running a pretty strong mix after a fresh fill up. That was my first alarm ever on an OMC motor Jumpy aside from testing them, sort of exciting. Perhaps you needed to maintain your motors a little better? -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

Makes me wonder how many people are running a pretty strong mix after a fresh fill up. Yes, I wonder. Heard of a bloke a year or so back, who bought a "new" motor for his boat. Didn't trust the oil injection system or the alarms, so doubled up on the oil mix just to be safe  Poured oil into his fuel tank and motored off a couple of hundred yards before the river was filled with smoke and the motor quit. As I recall, the oil didn't mix and the motor didn't like running on oil alone. I have disconnected my oil tank and premix my fuel. Not that I don't trust the injection or the alarms  Seafairy, will you give my deck a polish? I will wash the hull
