Hey guys, I relatively green as far as maintenance on my boat goes, but not totally ignorant to basic mechanics. Here's what I'm seeing... Coming in this weekend I was pushing a lot of steam of both exhausts. I immediately checked the strainers and no blockage/excess debris (tho port did have some rust coloring in the water).
It seems as though I am not getting enough water through to properly cool. Too little water is exiting at the exhaust, which could explain the steam, as what water did make it in could be evaporating from excess heat.
What should be my next step in troubleshoot, and/or what else might I be looking at here? Thanks for the help!
