Hi Guys,
Got my boat out finally today (03 elite). While idiling the temp went up and the alarm went off. I tightened the belt it seemed okay, so I went out. When moving at a decent speed or going fast, the Temp drops right away. When idiling it goes up again.
A few notes:
- I just changed my impeller before going out.
- Initially when I fired up my boat it was squealling loudly (so I removed the belt and manually rotated the impellor pulley - this was difficult to do at first as I think the flanges on the impellor were facing counter clockwise. Once I got the pulley turning it seemed fine, so I put the belt back on and fired it up with no squealing). Likely should have used more lube.
I perused the forums but did not see any other issues like this? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
