Help with Vapor Lock
Hi everyone, I am new and just joined and hoping to get some help or guidance. I have a 93 2300SCR and for the last couple of years, iit has been vapor locking.
Here's the scenario...Take boat to local lake, fires right up, go to other side of lake to the coves (20 min run time), anchor boat leaving blower running and sit /swim for a few hours, and BOAT WILL NOT START again. Now, if I stay overnight (which I occassionally do), it will start up right away in the morning. When I first bought the bout 6yrs ago, never had this issue for the first 2 yrs and then all of a sudden BAM! Benn having trouble for the last 4yrs. My mechanic says it is Vapor Locking and that those boats don't have a good ventilation system to cool the engine compartment down. So I will even prop the engine floor board up while anchored to no avail. I also run NO ETHANOL fuel in it and have added a primer bulb onto the fuel line...doesn't help.
I love the boat and dont want to sell it but the Rangers know me by first name now because of the amount of times I've had to be towed in.
HELP!!!!
