Hello, this is my second post after reading some stuff about engine temps on this engine model. On my first short trip and I guess the boats for for a few weeks the temp guage (once taped to get it to read) rose to around 170 and everthing seemed fine. As I slowed down to tick over the temp went close to 200 and then dropped off back to 170ish. I am not entirely trusting of the guage as I said it sometimes needs a tap to come to life. But I have read about impellors, water intakes, power steering coolers etc. and although I don't want to break anything I also don't want to start pulling things apart mid-season. Are there any websites that show how and where I can check water intakes and the other obvious things. <br /><br />Oh two more pieces of info, I saw the water turn around with mufflers on and it all looked fine but water was coming from behind the sloping curved plastic cover. When I looked the small plastic pipe had come out of the pump housing(I think thats what it is), would this make any difference if it has popped out again which I suspect it has because the hole was distorted and can I glue it for more permanace. Thanks
