Sorry Muc Typo... Number 20 was answering a question . 19. Ran it for about a hour after changing thermostat and water pump. Flushed engine and changed block pressure sensor again after a good cleaning. Nothing was found in sensor. Boat seemed ok but it nay jump out and get me again. Still cant find a visible cause.

Did I see somewhere that after replacing the impeller your temperature dropped way down? If so that would suggest that the impeller was in need of replacement.

Did you happen to notice any markings on the new thermostat? MerCruiser lists it as 140 degrees in the manual.

Hope it keeps working for you.

No alarm with stuck Stat temp wise. Still had a low block pressure alarm. Replaced Stat with new 140 Degree, This was the first time the stat has stuck had a few sand particles holding it. Flushed out engine the best i could . it seem to do ok after a hours run. No I have not run aground . So not sure where the sand particles only two came from. Again i hope this did it . You guys are so patient and helpfull
