Discovered my boat doesn't have engine strainers. The genny does. The ac does.
How did I find out? Access to the slips in front of my condo from the north is shoaled in. Was going very slow but grounded it in sand. Was able to back out. Marina owner was with me as a second hand if needed.
Headed back to put it one of his slips. Starboard engine started getting warm. Had water flow out the exhaust, but temp got up to about 175 after about 10 minutes of heading back up the river. Revved the engine a few times but didn't clear it. Shut the engine down and came in on one.
Yesterday went to the boat to clean out the strainers. All my boats have strainers, right? Nope.
So now I'll be removing the thermostat and block drains in an effort to clear sand. Then replace the impeller. Then install proper strainers on both engines.
Never a dull moment.
