ATLANTA, GA, February 27, 2014 (Press-News.org) The Deutz diesel engine specialists, APM Heavy Duty, would like to take a moment to talk about what causes marine motors to overheat. The optimal operating temperature is 180 degrees Farenheit, but only when the engine exceeds 200 degrees should you get concerned. Pushing your boat beyond its RPM limits is one way to stress the engine, but often a malfunctioning part is to blame.
Since overheating can lead to complete mechanical breakdown, diagnosing and fixing the problem as soon as possible is essential. There are a number of reasons why marine motors overheat, but knowing what trouble areas to check first will help speed up the process.
The Cummins diesel engine parts supplier notes that in most cases, overheating occurs when a single engine parts stops working. However, failure to address the issue can prolong its effects and ultimately lead to multi-part complications.
What to Do When Your Marine Motor is Running Too Hot
The first engine part to inspect is the raw water impeller as it is not uncommon for the plastic spokes on this device to break off and clog the raw water flow. Clear the blockage, replace the impeller and the problem should be solved.
Corrosion in the mixing elbow caused by prolonged exposure to minerals in the water is also a major culprit.
According to David DeBuc, Vice President of APM Engine Parts, "Don't forget to check the heat exchanger, thermostat and all the engine hoses. Though there are times when major problems like damaged cylinder heads are at fault, most of the time, all that is required is a simple fix."

Cancer-Targeted Treatments from Space Station Discoveries
2014-02-27
Invasive and systemic cancer treatment is a necessary evil for many people with the devastating diagnosis. These patients endure therapies with ravaging side effects, including nausea, immune suppression, hair loss and even organ failure, in hopes of eradicating cancerous tissues in the body. If treatments targeted a patient's cancerous tissues, it could provide clinicians with an alternative to lessen the delivery of toxic levels of chemotherapy or radiation. Imagine the quality of life from such therapies for patients. Remarkably, research that began in space may soon ...

Pulling problem teeth before heart surgery to prevent infection may be catch-22
2014-02-27
Rochester, Minn. — Feb. 27, 2014 — To pull or not to pull? That is a common question when patients have the potentially dangerous combination of abscessed or infected teeth and the need for heart surgery. In such cases, problem teeth often are removed before surgery, to reduce the risk of infections including endocarditis, an infection of the inner lining of the heart that can prove deadly. But Mayo Clinic research suggests it may not be as simple as pulling teeth: The study found that roughly 1 in 10 heart surgery patients who had troublesome teeth extracted before ...
Childhood adversity launches lifelong relationship and health disadvantage for black men
2014-02-27
WASHINGTON, DC, February 24, 2014 — Greater childhood adversity helps to explain why black men are less healthy than white men, and some of this effect appears to operate through childhood adversity's enduring influence on the relationships black men have as adults, according to a new study in the March issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
"Our findings suggest that childhood adversity launches a lifelong process of relationship and health disadvantage for black men," said lead author Debra Umberson, a professor of sociology and a faculty associate in ...
