First timer

So I replaced the exhaust manifolds and risers still getting water in the motor. Pulled the heads and I’ve got water in all 8 cylinders, makes me think it’s a top end issue. Only get water in the oil after I turn the motor over by hand. Any ideas? Ready to just replace the heads and intake.

Hey crew! I’ve got a problem with my 02’ Avalanche with the 5.7 mag. Went to fire the boat up and had my hose hooked up to my flush pro but the water wasn’t coming out of my exhaust like usual and the boat wouldn’t start. Drained all of the oil and drained a ton of water from the pan. Pulled the plugs on my passenger side and they were all at. Pulled the plugs on the driver side and they were fine. Put new oil in it and I was able to get it running but I only ran it for a few seconds without water. I’m guessing a bad head gasket but was wondering if the crew had any advice. Thanks for the help

It pulls hard, great change

Start with the cheap stuff and check your cap and rotor. As for the alarm it could have been the temp. Sounds like the thermostat is working but you could always replace that beings they're cheap.

For surfing go with the acme 911 I think most will agree. It changed my 02' a lot, but you will lose speed. I have basically the same boat and now I top out around 35 but that's getting the rpm a little high for my comfort level.

Thanks viking

I went with 16*. I went with what Troy made. http://www.centurioncrew.com/index.php/topic/8608-addition-of-asymmetrical-plate/page-4

Thanks True for supporting and all of your help.

The idler pulley is just above you're alternator pulley. The tensioner is above your seawater pump. I chose a napa belt because there's a napa auto parts store in practically every city.

Just check to make sure they spin freely. I'm currently waiting on a new tensioner and idler pulley because I shred a belt too. I pulled my idler pulley and the bearings were wasted.

The impeller pump is going to be fairly hard to turn, but if you've never replaced it you should. Also with the belt off check your tensioner and idler pulley.

These are what I use.

That is one of the coolest videos ever.!

I'm actually going to hit the Columbia Saturday. Putting in at big eddy marina, across from blue lake.

I finally got my plate done. Going to test it out saturday.

I'm a little confused by the impeller freezing up. How can you tell the impeller is freezing up? Is the belt spinning but your impeller pulley isn't? If so I'd say either your belt needs to be tightened or the pump itself is going bad. The motor has too much torque for a rubber impeller to stop spinning.

Does anybody know if the surge brake actuator can be adjusted or do I need to replace it? Right now I can barely put my truck in reverse without the brakes locking up on the trailer. Thanks for the help.

My trailer is an 02'

My trailer does have the 5 wire pigtail, but the 5th wire, the blue one, is broke off. I'm guessing that's why it doesn't work. Thanks Kevin.

I didn't know there was an electrical bypass. I figured the whole thing was mechanical, I'll have to look into it this afternoon.

Not sure if the elite is the same as my avy, but I cut out the footwell. I then filled the hole with spray foam and layed a thin piece of stainless over the hole. Covered the stainless with with carpet and had tons of room. It's messy but that footwell doesn't have any structural value to the boat.

Awesome looking boat congrats!

Dura is bitter because she wouldn't be a sister wife!

It seems like a pretty good idea keeping the nose of the boat tight but I would think that if the boat was moving in the water from waves there would be a lot of rubbing.

Either the ignition is bad or the starter.
