Today I took the boat out on the water for the first time ( Sea Ray 170) in 7 or so years. The boat ran grand but was running a little hot and would then cool down a bit and seemed fine. I had the boat under full acceleration and then it just died and cut power ( i found the problem for that was the connector fell off the coil... This one some hours later i fixed this problem). On the water the boat was turning over find but would not start ( cause of the lose connection) but the gauge was than jump from 140 degrees to say 170 3/4 towards the top). I took the boat out of the water and left it in the shed and a few hours later i came back and reconnected the wirer and it fired and ran but i turned it off straight away as i noticed the water pump was not turning, ( could this have been caused cause the impeller was worn and then cause the water pump to over heat and sized ( when less turning before this it was turning fine), Ive order a new water pump, impeller and thermostat to be safe. Should this solve the problem?, Ive only ordered the impeller with out realising i need other parts too, like the gaskets etc, Should i order them too or will i get away with already is there and just change the impeller, Any advice would be much appreciated.
