Water psi...
Yesterday i started our 2004 320SD gas 496's with BravoIII outdrives, cooled by sealed system, to check starts and gauges as today I am taking the boat 8 miles for spring haul out and servicing.
All is great, except Port water psi reads 4.8 while Stbd reads 14.0.
In August we had Stbd issues, thought then to be caused by lack of cooling, so mechanics installed new throughhull raw water intakes...but only connected the Stbd one. The Port one is to be connected at this spring servicing. Adding the new intakes was to augment, help the factory intakes through the outdrives, which have narrow pipes in this Mercruiser year.
So two questions, as its Sunday. Mercruiser CS phone line and no mechanics are around: what is factory water psi usually, as read on your gauges? And, besides watching temperature and water psi gauges on this short trip, do you know, recollect any issues that might arise?
Thanks!
