Default Re: mercury 4hp two stroke impeller

Hi,

I don't know which 4 hp you have but the older ones (single cylinder) had a nylon cap on the top of the water tube under the powerhead. When you over heated these engines that cap would melt restricting the hole so the engine would still overheat. You would need to pull the powerhead to fix this.
