Hey All,
I have the Universal Atomic Diesel 5424.
Motor was running fine in the clear waters of Lake Michigan after motor sailing for 3 hours, then the engine overheated.
I thought it was the impeller. Poped off the cover, impeller is fine. Plenty of coolant in the freshwater system and a good impeller in the raw water system.
Could the thermostat just got stuck closed after hours of running fine?
Is there a pump in the freshwater system? (gotta ask)
Thanks for any help
