Just bought the boat but discovered no water circulation to engine..its a 78 evinrude 25852C. I replaced the impeller (which was destroyed) and got water to pump out the top of the pump. I tested by putting in a tub of water and running a drill on the shaft and water shot out the tube hole so I think that works well. After reassembling I now have a spray of water coming out the two ports on the back which nothing was coming out before..BUT still nothing out the pee hole and engine gets really hot after 30sec or so. I dropped the lower again to make sure I aligned that copper tube correctly and I believe it is. I then pulled off the water plate to check thermostat and its bone dry and dusty in there tstat was definitely a goner..hasn't seen water in some time..also pulled off the exhaust plate same thing..dosent look like any water has been in there in a while..that's where I'm at..I haven't put it back together yet..wondering what I should check next if something could be plugged up but where? All of what I wrote sounds like the engine would be screwed up but it runs really good otherwise and starts right up.
Thanks!
