Hello iboat forum friends, I recently bought a 1972 Starcraft Starchief and have problems with it running hot. I ran it for 8-10 hours but watched the guage and kept it low enough to not ruin the engine. I pulled it home and noticed some oil dripping form the water inlets. I dropped the bottom or lower section to look at the water pump. The guide tube had melted so much it looked like a cloth rag draped over the water pump. The upper housing of the pump was blistered also. Was this done by running the engine out of the water or some other cause?
