Skools, that's great buddy!!! Very cool and not surprising that everything was perfect from the install. You da' man...
Hey, how long is it safe to run an O/B hooked up to the hose? You got me all excited about running my engine.

well no different when idling in the water if the hose is hooked up just run it with out the hood so you can feel all cylinders, head bolts, spark plug base's, t-stat housings, and heads on all cylinders not a bad idea to do so anyway on a start up on a sitting motor. that way you feel to be sure you have no hot spotting on the cylinders or any plug fouling issues, but rev it up once and a while with it in neutral. i kept my hands all over this motors heads and plug and sides of the cylinders for hot spots or a warmer cylinder, all stayed same temp and ran perfect.

well just finished todays project i want to take the boat to the coast June 9th for it's first splash, going to the beach for a week to see the Big Rock and hope to ride all week on this puppy, i hooked all the fuel lines and fills up to night finally found the correct size vent hose this tank has 1/2 vent i was like wow hugh, well has battery tray and NEW battery installed and all gauges work and passed skools test and the bilge pump and float switch passed the skools test, all i found was a clearance issue on the tank hatch cover has been fixed with the router and has been epoxyed and sealed up. just needs floor painted and the jump seats installed wow i can't wait.

Skools,
When you say "hot spots" are these spots something you can actually feel with your hands? If so, are you saying that the motor should never got too hot to touch?
I'm just trying to get this straight so that I know how to proceed.
Hey, I'm just as excited as you are to see how your boat performs on the water.
Wish I knew enough to put my boat through Skool's school tests ;D

hot spots are you don't want any spots on your motor hotter than others, like if one cylinder seems to be getting a whole lot hotter than the rest of the motor shut it down fast cause you are about to be loosing a cylinder, then you check to ensure that the carb is getting fuel for that cylinder and that the jets are stopped up. my 225 never got to the point that i couldn't rest my hand on any location for an extended time. ran cool the whole time as they should on a hose.

skools,
about the temps. I just got an '86 Yamaha V6 Special (220HP ?) and one side runs hotter than the other. One side is warm and I can keep my hand on it while the other is too hot to hold for more than 5 seconds. I used an infrared thermometer on it and it was around 90 degrees on one side and 150-160 on the other. I was guessing the 90 was a stuck open T-stat. I haven't had a chance to dig into it yet but am I guessing wrong?

The 90 sounds to cold and the 150-160 sounds to hot. I know my SUZUKI uses a 118 t-stat.

hey Talley is that the temps on water hose? if so it will run much cooler on a hose, due to water is cold out of the tap but on a hose it should be around 85 to 95 on temps that 150's will kill your motor in short time, change the t-stats before running again.

well after some work here she is
i sanded the inside floor and washed down then masked off the sides. put the paint in my shaker an added non-skid then put in shaker again, yeah the floor is done see pics what ya think?
Outside
notice i masked around the floor drains as well
Here's the floor hatch painted
installed floor access and 5200'ed
(notice how i notched the floor so the access is flush so it doesn't become a toe stumper)

What in the world are you talking about by saying you hope we don't mind if you start another restore thread??? Buddy, we can't wait!!! ;D
Really, I can't wait to see what you're gonna do to that V.
Skools, that 21 is sick man! Or as our Boston boys would say, "It's wicked sexy" Nice paint work bro. I like the decisions you made in determining where to apply the non-skid and where not to. Looking good...
