Stus-ListOverheating-new installation

[Kevin Burke]

I just replaced an old Westerbeke with a new/old stock Universal m3-20b.  It 
fires up with no problem, runs smoothly atnd spits what seems to be the 
appropriate amount of water out of the exhaust, but I was testing it by idling 
it about 800 rpm and after 20 minutes or so it overheats to 200 degrees and the 
overheat alarm goes off.  It has a new exhaust elbow and new impeller, no signs 
of corrosion anywhere, and only about 1.2 hours on the hour  meter.  It is 
about 20 years old, ordered for a swap but not used.  It was stored properly 
indoors and has fresh coolant.  I think I bled the coolant properly-there is an 
 overflow tank and a bleed valve on top of the thermostat, which is at the 
front high point on the engine.  I ran it with the valve open until there was a 
steady stream of coolant coming out.  My original thought was that there was 
air in the system or a bad thermostat.  I tried running it without the tstat 
and it did the same thing.  It seems hotter above the thermostat than on the 
sides below the head gasket.  Any thoughts?   The muffler is fairly new as well 
and I did not see any buildup in the pipe.  I had to install a fiberglass 
reducer from 2 inches to 1 ½ shortly after the exhaust elbow to feed it to the 
existing muffler.  Could it be excessive back pressure from the reducer?

Stus-ListAutopilot deals

[Joe Della Barba]

Do we have a RaytMarine dealer on the list?  I might possibly be looking 
for a new wheel pilot.

Stus-ListEmail Filter

[Richard Gotthardt]

I have a Gmail filter set to move any email with Stus-List in the subject
to a folder, but it doesn't seem to work now. It looks like the space after
"Stus-List" has disappeared. I changed it to just "Stus", I'll see if that
makes any difference.

Kevin,
Was the engine stored with coolant in it? Old coolant can and will plug up
the heat exchanger, among other things. A friend bought a boat that had sat
on the hard for 25 years, the engine had to be torn down, all seals
replaced and the heat exchanger rodded out.
FWIW
