I replaced the impeller and the thermostat and still seem to have a cooling issue. I pulled the hose from the pump to the thermostat and I get water but when I was out today it ran hot - about 200. At idle it doesn't seem to climb but it didn't drop either however when I got back to the dock I hooked up the hose to flush the system it cooled down almost immediately. The hose water shouldn't be much cooler than the bay but the hose connector is between the gimbal and the pump. Am I on the right track thinking that it's probably a restriction in the lower unit or gimbal? When I hooked up the hose on the trailer I had plenty of water coming out of the lower unit so I thought it was good but maybe not? In the meantime I'll try connecting a hose from a thru hull to the pump and see if the cooling issue goes away.
Thanks
