Took boat out two weeks ago and under throttle(3500) boat heated up to 180. Usually runs 160. Replaced impeller and housing. Was in good shape. Flushed system and pulled blue plugs on risers. Flow was great. Long story short engine is still heating up. Last time out I did notice reserve for lower unit oil was dripping pretty good. Would this be correlated to an over heating problem. Any help would b appreciated.
