Hello all, I been having a slight weird cooling issue with my motor.
1. The motor will troll or idle all day without the heat buzzer coming on and it seems to spit water (not as much as id like)
2. When idled up to around 2000 rpms it does spit more and will not ignite the buzzer.
3. When full throttle the water begins to spit less and and less and the heat buzzer comes on. When trottled down to a fast idle i get water again.

I did have Franz from Grandview Mo look at it for a shifting issue and he had to pull the lower unit to replace a couple wore out shift linkage parts. Just seems the faster the motor the less water, Franz did mention the impeller was fine. Could I have a weak impeller or maybe blockage somewhere.

thanks for any help. Phil in Independence, MO

Any mechanic that won't replace the impeller when he has it apart should be suspect!!!The symptoms indicate a bad impeller.J
