Re: Trip into salt water

I believe I have impellers, would that mean it's raw water cooled? However, if it's a closed system then the 160 are ok and my only concern is adding the aluminum anodes, correct?

Re: Trip into salt water

Wow, thanks everyone. I will change to 140 to play it safe and have aluminum anodes installed. Is it ok to run 140 stats in fresh water also as the trip is planned for late August, so will be on Lake Champlain till then?

Re: Trip into salt water

Thanks. I will ask the marina mechanic about changing/checking the anodes. Purchased the boat late last summer. The engines had been rebuilt 3 years earlier and have 200 hrs on them.

Re: Trip into salt water

Thanks for the reply. I don't know about the anodes. It's a 1974 Searaider with twin 318's. New to me. How would I discern the type of anodes? It is raw water cooled.

Thanks

Trip into salt water

Hi. I am planning a trip from Lake Champlain to NYC. Should be in the harbor a couple days before heading back to Vermont. Do I need to be concerned about the salt water in the harbor for such a short stay. Any precautions or treatments I should be aware of.

Thanks

Re: Ship's clock

1974 30 foot Sea Raider. I didn't know if they originally came equipped with a "Trojan" clock.
