I have the option to run water on my ceramic coated headers. I also have a hard time getting a lot of water through them even though I've cleaned the lines a million times so, I just keep the valve closed and run em dry. It can get a little uncomfortable if you have people in the back seat but I don't have any problems when I run them dry. Just a little less shiny.

I'd be wondering why you're not getting enough water to the headers. I would think that if you're running the most common set up, there shouldn't be any problem pushing water through the headers.

What are your set-ups like? Do you guys have the water line coming from the t-stat housing to the Bassett t-valve to the headers? The t-valve has a ball and spring in it that goes in a certain way to work right. Sometimes they stick or the spring breaks.

Sometimes minerals and scale can build up in the lines and fittings.

They sell restrictors that limit the flow. These could be plugged up. Do you know if you have one?

Just some things to check if you haven't already.

The Basset t is hollow, I only run the valve near the seat. That's why I am so baffled by it because I have blown air through everything and all seems clear. If i open the valve and blow air from the line coming off of the tstat housing, you hear the air coming out of the exhaust. When I'm running and open the valve,  you hear the exhaust tone change, the valve gets hot as if water is flowing through it but, no steam. So it may be getting a little bit of water, but not enough to stream like it did the first time I ever took this boat out. I'll check those resteictors, if it has them. Thanks.

Do you run a valve for the dump  line?
If so you can use that to restrict flow and build a lil pressure to get more water to the pipes if that's what ur after

I had the same problem as well as failing to wipe down the headers getting rid of the oil from my skin and it stayed. Had them ceramic coated and problem solved. Run them wet or dry no issues. Easy to clean as well.
