5.0 bravo 3 overheating

[Opie2613]

My bravo 3 started overheating I changed impeller which had 1 tooth missing but did find it and still overheating so I changed bellows and checked circulating pump and back flushed all the hose and I am getting good water flow I have also changed t/state any one have anymore suggestions

check your water flow out of your raw water pump. you should get 5 gallons out in about 16 seconds at 1000 RPM.

depending on your bravo's age, the line going thru the transom in early ones had a tendency to corrode. there is a kit out there.

Have you checked for blockage in the exhaust?

Yeah the flow is good and i had to change the baffles out and they were blocking it originally but I'm getting good flow all the way through could it be head gasket or cracked water jacket

pressure test if you think you have an issue. most likely it is not a head gasket or crack.
