Ok help again please. 130TLRV
My son hit a rock, and cracked the housing, so I purchased an SEI replacement, bolted it on and went out again. Everything was great before the Hard Water mishap.
So following SEIs break in instructions, I decided to make 2 trips to the cabin, 1/2 load each trip due to weight. so 3200 RPMs it ran good, a Strong stream from the TelTale. Up and Back about 25 miles. hooked up the Cabin Skiff he used to tow the boat down with, again it worked good for a few miles, then I went to 3500 RPM, shortly aft the Over Heat alarm came on. TelTale slowed. I back off and shut it down. Cooled it for a few minutes and continued. No Problems.
Next morning I went down empty, 3200 RPM everything was good, revved to 3500 and the flow would slow, eventually setting off the temp alarm. I got home and pulled the lower unit, everything was aligned. Pulled the Pump Housing, none of the bolts were tight, not a snap was heard. I checked everything, RTVed the oring and reassembled.
It ran flawless for another trip and a half at any RPM, Water out of the exhaust and Teltale. Coming back the second time Loaded, anything over 3500 RPM and water flow slowed.
So I am about to pull the unit again and see, but am I missing something? Thermostat? but why only at times and why not before? The hit wasn't a hard one, just the case, all the shafts are straight and no twists.
