Well it did'nt take long for the first problem of the season as my boat has only been in the drink for 8 days. I'm hoping someone can school me but I think this one is over my head and more then likely needs to go to the shop. The problem is this...
While my 17 year old son was useing the boat he called me and said there was a good amount of smoke coming from the engine and it wasn't peeing real strong. He said that he turned off the moter, let it stand for a few minutes and the smoke condition cleared up and there was no problem. When he came in I went for a ride and this is what I found; Boat ran fine at both high and low speeds. What I did notice was that after slowing down there was more smoke then normal coming from the exhaust and prop. The mid section of the motor felt warm almost hot. It would clear up after a few seconds. What I also noticed was there was water coming out from the seam just below the exhaust. Any ideas? I read once on this site that there is a seal that can go bad but why the smoke? And what about it not peeing as strong at idle but strong at higher speeds. . When I flushed the motor, engine off, it took a longer time then normal to starting peeing and it was not as strong as it has been. Then I would put the motor down start it up, ran fine. Then again I would flush motor off and it was slow to pee and not strong.
Thanks in advance,
George
