Thank you @Lou C !!!!!

Does anyone have a picture of the water hose that goes from the oil cooler into the transom? Want to get a visual before I go in and try to swap out - hose coming in today. Thanks

Is the “oil cooler” an engine oil cooler or power steering oil cooler? I’ve seen both online. Does this serve as a heat exchanger to warm sea water before it goes into the impeller?

It’s #19

Turns out it was the hose going from oil cooler into transom. Anyone have a utube on how this is changed?

Does anyone have any experience with the circulation pump? When I pulled mine off it’s fun freely like a wheel. However the new one that I purchased had a slight resistance/felt nice and “tight”. Could the old one I’ve been bad?

I pulled a Johnson out of it but went Volvo Penta for new housing and impeller. Hoping this works!

Thanks @Lou C !!! It’s an 05 so I’m doing water circulation pump too. We’ll see what happens when I take it out tomorrow.

I also did water test - sealing off drive water intakes with water hose to impeller intake hose- to rule out leaking nipple. I had no drips coming from drive area whatsoever.

Yes copper tube was ok.

What is the circle in middle of impeller housing? Could that cause overheat at idle?

1 o ring confirmed

Thank you - quite a bit to go on here.

@Lou C thank you for the detailed info. 1) will check nipple in transom mount (I assume it’s accessible without removing drive?). 2) rubber grommets were replaced in lower drive unit (attached to copper tube) 3) will check for blockage in t stat housing 4) will check for air leak 5) shop did...
