    Basic winterization question

    Just so I'm understanding correctly, the sea cock for the thru hull stays in the open position when the motor is running and the hose is flowing water in the strainer bucket? Seems like the water I'm putting in will just go right out via the thru hull, is that not the case? Thank you

    Basic winterization question

    My 340 Sundancer is on land and I'm looking to warm up my 8.1 motors to give them an oil change (first time as a DIY). In order to get water pumping through the motors to reach operating temperature, do I just place a hose in the bucket where the strainer is with a closed sea cock? Or am I...

    Westerbeke Smoking from underneath. Help Troubleshooting- Please.

    John, thanks for taking the time to respond. 1) As far as 15 hours, I put on all 15. The generator had zero hours when I purchased the boat from original owner. It ran 100% perfect for all of those hours. 2) safety cut off was the exhaust temperature sender. I may have accidentally jostled it...

    Westerbeke Smoking from underneath. Help Troubleshooting- Please.

    Steve, thank you very much. The 3 mechanics I spoke to just say change the back end --without even looking at it. I honestly don't think it's the back end it was running 100% perfect until I had the belt problem. Hate to change a back end for 2,500 and it may not even be the problem. I will look...

    Westerbeke Smoking from underneath. Help Troubleshooting- Please.

    Not yet but think I'm getting close. Unfortunately I only have time to look at the genny on the weekend. So this is where I am now; last week I fit my 250 pound body on the aft portion of my motors so that I can have a different angle on the generator. So I inspected the pulleys and belts prior...

    Westerbeke Smoking from underneath. Help Troubleshooting- Please.

    Those are good points. I will see if there too much oil/ or oil leaking and I'll see if there is any belt pieces stuck. I'll continue my trouble shooting tomorrow. Than you very much for the ideas.

    Westerbeke Smoking from underneath. Help Troubleshooting- Please.

    Can I inspect the heat exchanger by just taking off the cap, o-ring and gasket? Do I need to close my sea cock prior to inspection? Thanks again

    Westerbeke Smoking from underneath. Help Troubleshooting- Please.

    Coolant level in reservoir is at proper level. The smell is faint-- nothing really strong but if I had to describe it, Smells like sort of a light plastic burning, but not too strong. Heres a video showing exactly what happens when running. http://youtu.be/tSiokgtXpOM

Chain of events as follows; 1- had gen on and it shut off by itself after around 2 hours. 2 - noticed impeller belt shredded and coolant reservoir hose was not connected to heat exchanger. 3...

    Westerbeke 4.5- proper way to test switches / sensors

    My 4.5 westerbeke shut down on me while I was actually watching the exhaust pumping. Was running fine, then a little white smoke and then dies. It ended up being the belt on the water pump which actually broke. Anyway, I changed the belt, and now the gen won't run unless I depress the preheat...

    New Impellers on 8.1s - Exhaust Discharge Now Not Flowing at the Same Rate

    Had both impellers changed on my 2002 340 with twin 8.1s, after concerns on running my port side dry for 5 minutes. Upon replacement there was no discharge out of side ports until the mechanic introduced a hose into the strainer to prime the pump. --Coincidentally this happens also when I splash...

    Inboard impeller question - fried or not???

    Thank you all for the advice. I'm going to play it safe and change it out. At a minImum, I'll take a picture of the impeller to show what it looks like after 5 minutes of running dry.

    Inboard impeller question - fried or not???

    My boat was launched this weekend. Once in the water, I started it up and went to pay the hauler. When I was going back to the boat I noticed no water coming out of my port exhaust and started noticing some smoke. Temp hit around 160 and I shut it down right away. I checked the strainer and it...

    Newbie questions on winterizing 8.1S Horizons

    Sorry for the long winded post, but this is my first time winterizing Fresh Water Cooled 8.1S. I have what is probably some very basic questions, but unfortunately these are the items that don’t come as common sense to me. I also searched the Forums, and didn’t find any concrete answers to these...
