Need help here, had the impeller replaced this spring and now the engine overheats when in the water within 5 minutes or so, however I can run it on muffs for 20 minutes or longer and no issues. Took it back to the guy and he replaced the Vernatherm t-stat (don't know if he used an old one or new one) and still overheats when in the lake but never does when on muffs. Took it back to the guy and we pulled the lower unit so he could show me that the impeller and housing is all new and going the right direction. What could be causing the overheat issue? I know that the overheat temp sensor is working because when the alarm does go off the water coming out of the exhaust relief ports is steaming. Any thoughts?
