What exactly is the filler block? Want to make sure I’m looking for the right thing. I have the diagram of the lower unit to go off of but not certain I’m looking for right thing
I’ve got two new 130 t-stats in it, I’ll check the covers today though. I’m not sure that I have the new style in the link. I’ll also drop my lower unit and check everything on the pump again just to be certain. What exactly should I check on the air pump? I’ve cleaned the strainer but that’s...

I have a 07 Optimax 200hp I bought used a few months ago and have been dealing with an overheat issue. Runs normal temp through all rpm ranges, and if the motors cool when I crank it the temps stay normal, will hit 129 on vessel view and the t stays open and it drops some and cycles back to 129...
