Overheating

Guessing the sea stainer is the brass grate under the boat.

I didn't see a see through container, unless it is under the seat. Would this container be before the shut-off valve?

It would be between the through hull and the impeller.

I have a slip rented at Rough River. I took the boat down there for the second time today only to bring it back again due to overheating. Someday I hope to make a home for it there.

We are mostly on Lake Barkely.

Maybe I did see that or something that looked like that. I was on the other side of the motor and thought it looked like a filter of some kind because the thing screwed into the top looked white. Maybe it looked white because it was junked up.

I am just not that familiar with the closed cooling system. Sorry.

My boss has lake house on Lake Barkley. I plan on having my boat up there a couple of times for a party or two.

Where can I find a complete manual for my boat?

Where is the trans cooler. The motor is a marine power GM6.0 Vortec 6000 and has a radiator.

Still has a trans cooler, I believe, and the heat exchanger (radiator) is still cooled by lake water. Poor flow across it will cause higher then normal engine temps.

Now, since you have a closed cooling 6.0, if I remember right, they run a typical 195* thermostat, just like a car. So, you may not actually be overheating.

That sea container. If I find it, are there any other steps beside unscrewing, cleaning it out, and screwing it back on?

Doesnt exist..... for any boat.

She runs over 200 and heads for 250 just idling around the marina.

Hit me up when you do. My brother has a houseboat at there.
