First time in water this year. Motor wants to heat up at idle. Increase rpms and cools back down. Has squeaking/rubbing noise in out drive that hasn"t been there. Could this be the raw water impellar? This is the first winter that boat was not sitting in a stall on the lake. Need some help to r/r impellar if that is the problem. Have been told to put in forward gear before separating the lower half of outdrive. Please advise if anyone has some tips/short cuts etc. What would be good manual to buy or is there a place to go online to get a picture of D/A. I am a heavy Equipment mechanic by trade and used to beating on things to disassemble them but don"t think this would be good idea.

Ayuh,... Is there any Oil in it,..?? Impeller usually just wear out, without protest noises....

There's factory manuals available up in the Adults Only section of this forum...
