  • SE116 Happiness/Overheating

    SternDrive Staff:

    I recent purchased a new lower unit for my Mercruiser (SE116). You guys have done your homework! The unit comes properly packaged, complete with everything you need and the quality appears to be right there.... From another engineer, I'm impressed!

    You have easy access for tech support. Justin helped me with a speedometer adaption & prop issue questions. He was thorough and curtious.

    I put in on today and ran it without any glitches.

    Your on the right track! Keep up the good work.

    20 HOURS LATER:
    I developed an overheating problem at anything but idle. Suspected a bad impeller in the lower but initial disassembly & inspection looked fine. Eventually discovered the rubber impeller separated from the hub and was slipping under load. Could not see the defect but a firm twist on the impeller revealed the problem.

    One phone call to Justin and problem solved...he sent out an upgraded kit and we are back on the water!
Working...
