as for the injestion problem be sure your exhaust elbows are at least 13 inches above the waterline at rest and the hose is angled so there is a 1/2 inch drop for every foot travled. nice find and great boat, the injestion problem was very common with the CC 25 the 28 wasnt as bad but still had this issue.. working at a marina in hampton, va, the above info is how we found to correct the problem. also try to avoid extended periods of high speed backing

It appears that when they went with the fuel injection engine they went with a roller cam which has a good amount of valve overlap due to a tight lobe separation. As a result when you let it idle for a long time it will eventually suck water vapors through the exhaust. I spoke to Mac with Carolina Classic on this matter and he said that before I shut it down to run it at 1500 RPM's in neutral for 3 min then shut it off. This will dry everything out and I shouldn't have any problems. Also I plan on putting a cam in that has a wider lobe separation which will in turn have less valve overlap.

I'm not a mechanic, but this makes me think of the postings earlier this year regarding exhaust manifolds in their design flaw which allowed back of water, eventually reaching the engine. It might be something that is pertinent to the current conversation. As I said, I'm not a mechanic but...

NICE boat!
Not to hijack the thread (well maybe not too much), but do any of you guys now if the water ingestion problems of the fuel injected big blocks were also found in 5.7 fuel injected V8s? thanks |
