Lately I've been having some trouble with my water intake to both my headers and motor. Whenever I'm at idle, there is way too much water going into my headers and coming out of the weep holes. Thankfully there hasn't been any reversion, yet. Anyways, I adjusted my intake valve down a little, which helped the amount of water coming into the headers, but now there isn't enough water getting to my engine. I asked a buddy of mine and he said that it could be my t-valve stuck open. Any other thoughts?

When I first got my boat it didn't even have a t valve. I bought a brand new Bassett valve and like yours it was always open even with my 3 position header water valve set to "low." I simply opened up the t valve and stretched out the spring a little. Works perfectly now. I suggest you put a gate valve before the t valve so that you can find tune the t valve activation point.

I did this to both water lines on my friends boat so that we can fine tune the water going to the headers and the overall water flow through the engine.
