Have a pretty good idea I may have a cooling issue. First off, I put in a new water pump kit. At first I
couldn't get any water from the tell tale. So after seeking help from a professional boat mechanic we got her peeing. So I recently did a decarb and replaced my sparks plugs put fresh gas mixed to 50:1. I put her in a test tank to give her a little run to check our work. Here are my findings
1. Tell tell will only start peeing when under slight throttle probably 25%. But plenty of water is sparying
from the exhaust ports on the back but feels too hot.
2. I remember finding on this forum but can't find it. You should be able keep your hand on the power head for a few seconds before it feels to hot to stand. Mine is scolding to the touch. This is at idle for 5-10
minutes.
Just wanted to get y'alls position that I do in deed have a cooling issue and where the potential problem
might be. Tommorow I plan on getting the heat chalk or a laser theometer to check the power head temp
more accurately.
