Welcome aboard.

Is there a question? What's an "sci"?

Thanks, BT. I swear I saw this was in the outboard section and thought is was a Merc 700. :doh:

Need more info.
How is it overheating, at idle, on plane, WOT, or all?
When did it start?
Is this a new to you boat?
Has the impeller been changed?
If there is a sea strainer, is it clean?

I think a turbine would have a lot less junk attached to it.

no more stuff bolted to that motor than a typical 5.7 other than the supercharger.

the motor is nothing more than a low compression 502 with a supercharger. on there the heat exchangers, exhaust, fuel system, starter, alternator, exhaust, mounting brackets, etc.
