2015 Four Winn's 180 with Merc 4.3L MPI. I was doing oil change, put on rabbit ears, started her up to warm the oil. It ran for probably 7ish mins and the overheating alarm went off. I quickly turned it off and went and did my oil change.
But now I'm worried. Did I do any damage? Is there a different issue I need to address? I've been reading up wondering if I need to change my impeller? It's never been done. I'm a DIY guy as best I can be but really nervous to try and tackle an impeller change.
Maybe I take her out on the water and see how it all goes. Boat/engine has been flawless since day 1.
Thoughts?
