Yes, Thank you. She's spittin’ like an agitated dromedary. I think I’ll install the mixing elbow in the Spring.

Everyone needs spare parts. Probably low due to the new hot water heater. Is the exhaust spitting now?

Re: Stus-List High temp alarm argh
I had smoke coming out of the engine compartment due to overheating on Friday evening. Sailed back to the slip and ran the engine only long enough to dock the boat. On Saturday morning my order was: 1) check to see if exhaust is spitting normally; 2) it was, so there was no need to mess around with the water intake, the raw water strainer, or the impeller – it wouldn’t be spitting normally if a plastic bag or something had been sucked in; 3) next up was the heat exchanger; 4) I don’t have a level gauge, so I started by looking for signs of antifreeze leaking – found some evidence (thank goodness it wasn’t internal to the engine) and a possible source (hose clamps needed to be tightened); and 5) added antifreeze to the heat exchanger system. In my case, it took nearly three quarts, so this was the problem. If the level gets low enough, the pump will not pick up antifreeze, and the heat exchanger system stops working. Once antifreeze was added, I ran the engine for half an hour and could not get the temp above 150. Had this not been the issue, next would have been the thermostat, then the mechanic.

Re: Stus-List High temp alarm argh
You have the water flow correct. These are things you can check: Remove the cap (like a radiator cap) and check the water/antifreeze level. Check the level of the fluid in the overflow container (access from the port cockpit locker) Close the seacock; open the sea strainer; open the seacock. Water should gush through. As long as it's open, clean the strainer. When you put the cap back on the sea strainer, make sure you have a good fit. If air enters, you won't get water flow. Check the tension on the water pump belt. Check the impeller. If any fins are missing, find and remove them. If you have the original mixing elbow, it could be clogged, especially if you sail in salt water. Remove it, and clean it out.

If your engine is FWC that path would be correct.

Does the water go from seacock to sea strainer to impeller(Pump) to heat exchanger to mixing elbow to muffler to Long Island Sound? Thank you in advance.
