can you guys help me please.... My 1988 force 85 hp will not cool or pump water through engine... Replace t stat... removed the lower unit and inspected impeller looked fine but replace anyway... removed lower cover under the water pump housing to check for a obstruction... pumped water from the top of the lower unit and water came out from the intake on both sides of the lower unit without obstruction... What am i missing... Put the outdrive in a tank of water up to and above the water line... Engine gets hot within 2 minutes... The over heat alarm isnt going off but the block gets very hot and theres no water coming out of the telltail or 2 exhaust ports on back of leg.... im really getting fustrated and not sure what the problem is or even where to look at this point... ps if i connect a water hose directly to the inlet tube on the engine, The engine cools down fine and water comes out of the telltail and exhaust ports... Boats been great all season but whats going on here...
thanks
