boat motor question?
hi im wondering if i am able to start my boat during the lakedrawdown this winter. the boat is a pontoon sittin on boards on my dock, water level only dropped 3 feet this year so motor is part way in the water. well i started it and water comes peeing out the back so does it mean the water cool feature is working on the motor and i shouldnt worry about starting it and letting it warm up ?? thanks all
all outboards or well any outboard your likely to have strapped to a pontoon boat, has a water pick up in the lower leg. look down your leg, towards the prop, and you will see a grate, grille, series of holes, on both sides of the leg. mariner has a removable grill that covers the intake. as long as that is below water level your cooling system will run at normal operation. if this intake is above or only partially submerged, your cooling system will be inefective and the engine should NOT be run.
the water ‘peeing’ from the back is from the tell tail pipe. this is purely an indicatin of water circulation, and is not your actual water outlet. yuor cooling water leaves the engine via the exhaust system, either thru prop or through an exhaust port in the lower leg, which is usually under water for silencing. if your itake is only partially submerged, it is likely that it is enough for water to show from this tell tail, but that does not mean enough water is circulating the engine. so find that intake and make sure it is submerged.
