Ok so I have a 94 seaswirl 180 se with a 4.3 omc cobra. It's my first boat and i love it and only have had it out a couple times. The last time I was at the lake after finishing the day my buddy pulled my truck down the ramp and when I pulled up to the trailer I automatically jumped out to help and forgot to turn off the boat. I had him pull it up the ramp and walked to the back to to pull up the Speedo and realized it was still on and quickly shut it off. It was on out of the water for about 30 seconds. When it shut off a little cloud of smoke came out of the bellow. Didn't think it was on long enough to cause any damage (remember this is my first boat). Next time I had it out it was idling at the dock and got warm but as soon as I put it in gear and start moving forward it goes right back down to normal temp and is fine until I put it in neutral and idle it it heats up again. Not sure what it could be I pulled the impeller housing and everything looks fine. Should I replace it anyways or do you guys have recommendations on where to start troubleshooting? I ran it at home with the muffs on and it was percect no overheating at idle. Any advice and tips is greatly appreciated thanks in advanced.
