Water in Cylinders
byerman posted a topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
Hey Crew, 2014 SV233. There is water in my Starboard (driver's side) cylinders. None in the port. Clean lake water. About 1/2 cup total. No coolant. Oil is clear. No water in oil. Oil level is not rising. No water in Port side. There were no issues prior to the winter. I had the boat "winterized" and "de-winterized." When I let the cylinders dry, the boat runs well until I stop. When I stop, I don't turn off the engine (to assure there is exhaust and no opportunity for water to back-flow). I did have one issue last year with overheating. My boat did not come with a freshwater strainer. Debris from the lake destroyed my impeller and the boat overheated. After the impeller was repaired, the boat worked well the rest of the summer. I am getting codes 1325 and 1326 FMI 31. My dealer lost their license and the dealership when to another local dealer. Both shops are great but I am the only one that "owns" the problem. Any ideas? Blake -
Winterizing a zr409 engine
Sfb330 posted a topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
So I just purchased a 2013 sv244 with 250 hours. I read the pcm manual regarding winterizing. It has a raw water flow page that was very informative. Essentially you pull out plugs at 7 locations and the water all drains out. The remainder of the cooling system is sealed with antifreeze like a normal vehicle engine. I used a hydrometer to check that the antifreeze was good to -35 degree. I pulled out all the raw water plugs. Fogged the cylinders by pulling out the spark plugs. Filled the tank and added stabilizer. Drained the large low pressure fuel cartridge because it says that water can get collected in it. Took out the batteries. I will change the oil, oil filter, tranny fluid, and fuel filter in the spring. Should this be sufficient for for the winter (we live in Canada)? The boat has 6 pumps for the ballast tanks. The hoses coming in and out of each pump are see through and you can see that there isn't any water in the hoses. I figured this should be ok. Is this a mistake?
