I launched my 1969 Trojan 2 days ago after refurbishing for 2 years. The engine started up fine but it overheats and I'm sure there is no water getting to it. How can I get the water in it to cool it? I replaced the impellers before launching. Please make it simple for me as I am a neophyte. Thx.

I sometimes have the same problem if my boat sits out of the water for an extended period. I correct by shutting off the water intake valve, then remove the raw water intake to the pump and fill it with water. I also fill the block through one of the 2 two hoses at the front of the engine. Put it all back together and it usually pumps water fine.
hope this helps. |

I have a 1974 Trojan. The boat has twin chrysler 318's. Both engines work great until my starboard engine gets to half throttle and hit sounds and feels like a washer machine that is off balance. Sorry, best way I can describe it. Is it this a bad distributor? |
