What does the 36 burn at WOT?
How are the risers? That's what kills marine motors, not oil.
Yeah, she's not why on drinking the fuel. At WOT, she will hit about 30MPH, which would be about 40GPH.
This boat has only ever been on the Great Lakes (no salt water). It has a closed cooling system as well. This "should" make the entire cooling system last a lot longer. The anti-freeze looks good. No signs of sludge or anything in it. Both holding tanks had a bit of welding repair to them. Is that of concern?
Do you think it's just a good idea to take the risers off and have a look-see? Or is this system (fresh water closed cooling system) known to last pretty much forever?
Looking for some advice Hatteras. Thanks.
