    • @outboardfinatic
      @outboardfinatic 20 днів тому

      In this case I was a ruptured fuel pump gasket. Due to the gaskets just being really old and brittle. Pretty typical on these 2 strokes just from them being around awhile and people not getting it serviced frequently

    I noticed you use the Sierra oil filter for a lot of your boats you service. I have this exact same engine maybe a few years older because the oil filter location is on the bottom right of the engine instead of the top right. Anyway my question is, this filter is a lot smaller than the OEM Volvo filter but the Sierra 18-7824-2 says on the box it replaces the bigger oem filter. I wonder if you had any problems with these because of the size difference, does this usually matter?

    • @outboardfinatic
      @outboardfinatic 28 днів тому

      So we haven’t had any issues with them thus far. And I’ve been using Sierra products myself for the last 5 years. It’s a very popular oil filter and fits many of the engines. They are typically a little smaller and I’m not 100 percent sure why tbh. I can look into it more/ask my boss who’s been doing this for 40 years but It hasn’t caused any problems for us with oil pressure or anything like that. We do sometimes use OEMs if I can get them in or if someone really insists on using. Also mercury quicksilver also make a filter for them and it’s the same size as the Sierra ones. That part number is 35-866340q03

      @outboardfinatic Місяць тому

      That’s a great qs. I spoke with my boss who’s been doing this for 40 years and he said it’s kinda a misconception on freeze out plugs because they aren’t really freeze out plugs. To his knowledge they are cast iron plugs and the blocks are molded in sand and so those plugs are meant to be able to drain and clean the blocks when assembly time comes. Why they didn’t blow out still still kinda puzzles me and maybe there’s a better explanation someone can give us on here. But the whole engine was frozen solid when it came in so I think the ice just went to the weakest spot it could find but still you would think the plugs would’ve popped as well. I’ve had a decent amount that have done that if the whole engine didn’t freeze. I hope this kinda answers your qs and maybe someone on here who has a bit better history knowledge can answer a little more in depth

      Just guarantee all the water is out of the hose and out of the drive. Since I work for a marina we have to guarantee everything is completely out so nothing comes and bites us in the rear. Prevents the hose splitting, water pick up tube from cracking any water chilling in the outdrive that hasn’t gotten out, any debris laying in the hose is pushed out so we have solid water flow come spring,rust preventative inside the hose as well as the outdrive with antifreeze. These vids I made were to show people more than likely what every marina shop will do during winterizations on the motor end of things. This is just a recommendation as I see a lot of issues come in the shop with issues after winter and they almost always spend a lot of money instead of taking the extra time and doing it right. Again that a recommendation but I strongly encourage people take the extra steps and guarantee they won’t have issues come spring because if not this will make people realize how much money they will be spending to come see a marina and more than likely they’ll just stop boating in general which we don’t want to happen.BOAT=Break Out Another Thousand.

      That’s kinda up to you. I personally would say no just because they are so expensive. Now they do have their perks as the sparks concentrated significantly in the center electrode so they say starting is easier and fouling dosent happen as much. But personally I’m not spending 20 bucks a piece for spark plugs. I’d run the normal spark plugs but again it’s just a personal choice. And tbh I’ll have to look but I don’t know if this motor has an option for iridium plugs but I could certainly be wrong I’ll look into it and see which part number they run

    • @outboardfinatic
      @outboardfinatic 2 місяці тому

      @@mississippimotorsports3286 your just hopefully diluting the water enough in the block where it wouldn’t crack. You’d have to run the engine for a decent amount of time before any of the water fully gets out. Aka just wasting a bunch of antifreeze because you’ll start seeing antifreeze almost instantly coming out of the exhaust because of the way the cooling system works. A lot of people would run it see the antifreeze come out and think it’s good and I promise you it’s not. The block has to be filled up and there are a lot of thin chambers where the water circulates and will sit especially on the 4.3s. I can almost garuntee something’s going to crack I see so many of them come through the shop from people doing it this way or just not doing it properly. Also a lot of debris and blockages happen and you want to get that out and make sure all the water came out. This way garuntees all water is out and antifreeze is replacing the water and also acts as a rust preventative internally. It dosent take a lot to crack a block when waters involved. The antifreeze does tech freeze but it turns into a slush below freezing temps. The water will just expand and crack the block almost guaranteed. I know you can get tanks and run it on your muffs w antifreeze but please don’t do that I promise you you will have problems and most of the time you won’t know you have a crack till your out on the water with a load on the boat. The short answer is it dosent garuntee your getting all the water out and your just hoping it’ll dilute but almost always it won’t and the water will expand and crack. Hope this helps

    Great, detailed video. Thanks for posting. You unhooked, blew air through, then added antifreeze to four hoses. What is the function of the two other hoses at the thermostat housing that you didn't disconnect? If I've already run fuel stabilizer/treatment through the fuel system, during the last time I took the boat out, and I'm not changing the oil, I assume that I don't have to run/warm up the engine prior to draining, blowing air, and adding anti-freeze through the four hoses. Also, what diameter Easy Out/thread extractor did you use and what psi do you use to blow out the residual water?

    • @outboardfinatic
      @outboardfinatic 2 місяці тому

      The other 2 hoses go to the bottom of the manifolds. The ones I took off go to the top which will still fill up the whole thing you can remove either or but once you put the hoses back on the hose will just fill with antifreeze from the thermostat housing to the other hoses that you didn’t remove. 2 go to the manifold one goes to the block and one to the outdrive. I would say just fire it up to make sure it runs good. The hot water does help to to drain the water and make sure any crustys get out but it’s not necessary. And honestly I don’t remember the size of the easy out I usually just get something that can wedge to spin out the drain plugs usually drill a hole in the center then jam something in there since it’s just plastic. Psi I’m not sure we have a huge overhead compressor at my work we just kick it on and it atomically pushes out a lot of psi. More the better you’re not gonna hurt anything at all with too much air it’s just gonna help get every drop out and any rocks/debris out of the motor. Hope this helps lmk if ya need anything else

    How to winterize if you do not have drain plugs???

    • @outboardfinatic
      @outboardfinatic 2 місяці тому

      As long as we’re talking about 4.3s it’s Impossible to not have drains unless you have the blue knob style which is usually on the newer motors. There will always be way to drain both sides of the block and the manifolds. If there’s no blue drain plugs then a lot of times there will be brass metal ones. Sometimes they don’t have drains on the manifolds and you’ll just have to pull the hose to it off to drain it. But most have drains either under the manifold or in the back of the manifold and always a way to drain both sides of the block. I’ve never ran into any 4.3 I/O that didnt have drain plugs other than the blue knob style and they even have at least 2 drains plugs on them

      Either fuel lines clogged going to carb, possibly fuel pump going bad. But I have noticed some if the after market floats and needles just something ain’t right with them. Idk if maybe u used a aftermarket carb kit but for some reason the floats don’t sit right and there’s no way to adjust them and the needles don’t seem to set the best. Maybe try an oem kit and adjust your idle mixture slightly and see what happens

It must’ve loosened it all up the last time I cleaned it. Cleaned the whole carb and both high idle and low idle jets again and now it purrs like a kitten at low idle. Thanks again!

    Hi, your videos are great! I have an 89 5.8L omc cobra. 2 questions for you 1. So I usually drain the block and manifolds of water then fill up the block with antifreeze, then hook up a sub pump to earmuffs on outdrive and it is submerged in a 5 gallon bucket of antifreeze. I then turn on the sub pump and run the boat while it’s sucking up the anitfreeze. Do you think that is sufficient for getting the water system and outdrive protected from freezing in the winter? 2. with your winterizing juice as you call it what is the mixture for that and do you have to fog the engine after that or does that mixture take care of it?

      @@MrAirsoft0917 hey there as long as you get all the water out then that would be fine. But you’re already removing all the hoses to be able to blow them out to make sure there’s absolutely no water. At that point I would just say fill from the hoses because honestly that’s the best way to make sure you don’t crack anything. Doing it from a bucket has been probs sufficient enough and probs just been diluting the water a little bit but this way garuntees no issues come spring The mixture is a 6 gallon tank. 1 part 2 stroke oil 1 part fogging oil 1 part stabilizer and then fill the rest with 90 ethanol free gas
