Everyone,
Been reading some threads on overheat since last night. Boat started overheating this weekend, not sure what the real issue is yet. I have not yet checked the water pump impeller, although it was just replaced Memorial Day weekend and has been working fine since. The past 3 times that has failed, no water was getting through the cooling system at all, and it currently water is in fact coming out of the exhaust ports. Temp keeps climbing to over 200F and cannot figure it out. Pulled thermostat out, but I did not do the stove test (dont have internet at cottage and forgot how to test this). Could a water passage be blocked or something? Thermostat is several years old, could that be bad? If someone could point me in the right direction, sure would appreciate it. Just doesn't seem like the impeller could be bad, if there is water coming out of my thru hull exhaust? No idea. Help appreciated, if it sounds like a thermostat I can just change that myself in 5 minutes! This impeller is a pain in the butt to replace, you have to remove the fuel filter and fuel pump to get to it.
