Hello guys. I need some help here.
I have a 2014 Mercruiser 5.0 MPI with Alpha 1 Gen II with no more than 150 hours. I was taking a ride las weekend and everything was normal. We did some wakboarding, cruising and then we anchored at the bay. Couple of hours later, when we want to return to the dock, the engine starts overheating at idle. We had to be pulled to the dock.
First clue was that the impeller need to be changed so I order one and I installed yesterday, bad luck, it stills overheating. I'm thinking about change the thermostat, but is there anything I can do to verify that the thermostat actually needs to be replaced?
Any more ideas what I should look at?
I appreciate your help in advanced.
