I've read and read forms all day about this and can't come up with the problem. I've posted a few times about other things and mentioned this in another post but the post is dead.
5.8 omc cobra. I had slight overheat on the lake and now I'm stuck still. Replaced the impeller and the old one looked okay but still but a new one in. If I run the boat on the muffs it's stays cool and water comes out ,warm. If I put the lower unit in a bucket it heats right up and now water exited the outdrive.
I have flushed water from the raw line back out the outdrive and water exits just fine, I've also took the hoses off he manifolds and fished water through them and water exits fine. I also took the impeller case off and checked for exiting water and it exits. The boat had a new lower half last year and I don't keep the boat in the water and has about 30 hours use. I don't know if that's enough time for the screens to be plugged or not. I'm out of ideas now
