Christopher,
You need to provide a bit more information if you want to receive meaningful input. Do you mean " We have an overheating problem with the engine in our 470, 2008 model" . You could advise- 1. Does the engine overheat within 10 minutes of starting up at low revs? or does it only overheat after running at 2500 rpm or higher in gear with the vessel travelling at 7 knots? 2. Do you know if the overboard discharge of the cooling water "normal" or less than normal or you are not sure? 3.Is the vessels hull relatively free of growth (fouling) and is the propellor clean? 4.Where are you operating the vessel and what is the water temperature? 5. Have you checked the coolant level within the engine and is it at the engine maunfacturer suggested levels? Is the coolant in the engine the normal color or is it discolored? Please add other information which you think may be relavant. Sorry for all the questions but better information will delivery you better input. |

Wayne covered almost everything besides the first question: how do you know it is overheating? You get a warning light message or you see steam coming out of the exhaust? Is it possible that you have a false alarm? Do you have a thermometer installed?
I noticed you were looking for the engine sea cock. Did you manage to find and open it? Is water flowing out of the exhaust pipe? Edited by panos - 05 May 2013 at 11:08 |

We had a warning light and buzzer go off, white steam out the back, so turned back. We have just taken over this boat after winter in fresh water all winter. If we are to check sea cock we have still not found it, we did not notice water out of exhaust. We do not have a thermometer installed. By the way the engine was very hot and smelly by the time we got back.

How can you leave the harbour if no water is coming out of your exhaust  The seacock will be behind the engine - on the side of your S-drive. Acces by opening the lockers in the rear cabin and lifting out the bottom use the same device as you use for the floorboards. If it turns out it was closed at least you found the initial error, but now I suspect you have a greater problem with the damages following the overheating. I would get a professional onboard to check the engine and instruct you in how to use and inspect it.

Too bad.
 Did you sail through a garbage dump? I see two different plastic bags blocking the cooling water entrance. |
