Hi everyone, I have read through some of the overheating threads and am not sure now where to begin my search for the problem. The engine overheats at higher rpm. A few things I have noticed
are that when i put the ears on practically no water comes out of the exaust, when the leg is in a bucket it seems to spit out a fair amount of water. I have checked the impellar, put in a new
thermostaat it seems okay. The exhaust manifold does not seem to get all that hot, i can still touch it, I noticed the salt water strainer had sand in it. When i open the salt water strainer housing watercomesout fairly quickly, which would indicate that the pump is working. If you turn the motor off though it would loose prime in the housing fairly quickly im not sure if thats normal or not. Would
really appreciate an idea where the best place to start looking .
thanks Philip
