Hello All!! 1987 V-4 Johnson 140Hp. Out on the water sucked up seaweed, engine quit and overheated. Removed thermostats one melted right-side, other melted a little left-side. Plastic water fittings/Tell tale on the thermostat housings melted. Also couple wires cooked a bit right-side. Looks like one ignition coil got a little hot right-side. Compression on left side still Strong. Suggestions before repairs begin? Is there a way to flush-out? What else? Thanks Chris
