MrMcD you were correct. This weekend I pulled of the exhaust hoses an sure as you said it a collapsed hose. Completely caved in solid. I cant believe you cant tell anything is wrong from the out side.

Glad you found that and maybe the collapsed hose shut the engine down before it was damaged. That is what they were designed to do. They used to be the USCG standard but the standard changed some time back and newer boats no longer have collapseable hoses. Now for that milky Oil. Any cause discovered yet.

I thought that was solved—oil change after high bilge water?

Thats usually unlikely, I have grasped at that straw a few times without catching it. However depending on the still relatively sketchy order of events. If you had blocked off exhaust manifolds on a commander and had fixed whatever was causing the first overheat (which was water flow related if the hoses melted, and not due to a faulty thermostat that would have heated the engine but not the exhaust hoses) you very well could have enough water back up enough to settle in the exhaust ports and make its way into the crankcase. |

I forgot about the oil being better, do we know why it overheated and burned the exhaust tubes yet? It would be a shame to install new tubes and burn them again.

Wasn’t it a backwards thermostat?

If it was just the thermostat the exhaust would still be getting water and the pipes wouldn't have melted... I think that's why there's still a question. RWP problem or something maybe.

The exhaust tube was definitely collapsed. The outside of the tube looked normal. It is completely blocked!

It originally overheated due to the impeller

Our Buddy Pete nailed the collapsed hose before I did. |
