Keith,
Which icon are you using for the picture upload? Going to "post reply" rather than the "quick reply", the icon is the picture of the tree with the up arrow on it. Don't forget telling us who did the marinization of your engine so we can give you some ideas of the cooling routing. Were any of the original hose put back on or replaced? |

Brainard. Its a pleasurecraft no none of the hoses were replaced. The ones left on will not go to any logical place so i think they were cut. I have been touching that icon in post reply but it does not do anything. The tree without directs to type in an email address. May uave something to do with my phone

Keith,
You are lucky that the engine is a PCM. lot's of them out there!! I suggest taking a look at the PCM engine manual in the reference section. You can also take a look in the diary section. Many diary posts include pictures of the engines. That old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words is true. If you can't get the info on the hose routing, come back to us and I'm sure we can help out. I have no idea what's up with your phone and the picture posting. It's not my area of expertise. MG, all I have is a Tracphone!!
