Marinette Boat Forum

Both of the 28' express that I've owned were wired so the float switch went directly to the battery on a fused circuit.. it saved my boat once when I left it up in Duluth for a few weeks. They got excessive rain( 10" in a week) and my shaft log leaked a bit and to top that off the hose for the ...

We see this all the time, I work as a service supervisor for a large diesel engine manufacturer. Just because there is voltage does not mean the wiring will carry the proper amperage. In our shop We use load testers or a headlight to make sure that wiring can carry enough amperage/load.

The fresh/raw water cooling terminology always trips me up, I have no antifreeze or hear exchanger, every thing is cooled by river water.....thanks for the reply.

'72 318, with the dual pocket water pump. Should the gaskets between the manifold and the elbow at the rear have the water passages opened up or closed????

My '78 28 express had an opening in the transom rail, directly in the center. The opening had a chain to close it up, just like the openings to the cockpit on the port and starboard sides.

Thanks, I'll check again... cleaned it once when I got the boat but could be more. Thanks again

I should say, impellars ar good, plenty of flow verified by pulling hoses off various fittings.
