Are my risers and elbow going bad?
Posted: Tue Jun 21, 2022 5:04 pm
Hello,
I'm new to the Trojan world and this is my first post.
I have a 1986 10M mid cabin.
At trolling speeds (idle speed), the water temp runs around 140-150. When I get up to 3000rpm, the temperature goes up to 170-180. I also notice a white "smoke" in the exhaust (more in the port motor than the starboard)
Is this a normal operating temp while under power and does the white "smoke" mean my elbow and risers are going bad? Or is there another possible problem?
Many thanks in advance.
