Made some progress today. I pulled the lower unit and put a garden hose on the tube from the pump to the block and checked water pressure at both t-stat housings and I had plenty of flow through both T-stat housings. Next I installed the T stats so I could check the the water pressure gauge I just installed. I get about roughly 14-15 psi at the gauge with the garden hose on almost full blast.
Next I checked the new meter gauge on the dash and all the lights are working from what I can tell and I left the light green wire unplugged from the port side with just the black and purple wires plugged into the heat sensor and the gauge on the dash indicated an over heat problem code 1-4 with the series of flashes from the Check Engine light. So I plugged light green wire back into the port side wiring and tried turning the key on again. This time I did not get any flashing code for an alarm. The two wire Starboard side sensor was left unplugged the whole time and it did not set off any code.
There was a little cracked cylindrical boot at the rear of the lower unit.
It is #20 in this parts diagram " https://www.boats.net/catalog/suzuk...ase-dt150-150s-175-200-200s-225-200efi-150efi "
I glued it back together using some super glue and some baking soda to make it cure fast. Then put a dab of liquid All laundry detergent on the tube that sticks out the bottom of the leg towards where the skegg type anode mounts. I put some inside the rubber cylindrical boot as well so the two would slide together fairly easy. I'm not sure what that boot does but I'm ordering a new one with the water pump.
I Think I will try to set up the Starboard side temp sensor so that I can unplug it fairly quick while the engine is running to see if it cures the alarm next time it goes off.
I'm getting closer
Here is short quick clip that took me forever to make and upload. It's not much. I'm no video expert :/
