Well Lou, I brought it to a Marine Repair Shop and they quickly diagnosed it to be a bad impeller housing. It was allowing air to leak and could not get good suction. I've had it running now for about 11 hours and no overheating. Plan on another 10 to 20 hours of Sea Trials before I can put...
Greetings Admiral Lou. I have an appointment at a Marine Engine Repair business. Will drop her off on July 5, and they will start on July 6. So besides getting the Power Trim/tilt working, I AM DONE!!!!!! I've wasted a whole month of precious weekends here in Michigan. We only get about 3...

Next, I put the boat in the water...
