    MerCruiser 4.5L 250hp V-6 overheat

    pull the line from the power steering cooler to the thermostat housing. connect to hose and backflush. the tubes in the power steering cooler are smaller than the pickup screen on the drive, so the power steering cooler may be plugged with dead fish, shells, rocks, etc.
