Hello,
I am new to this forum recently and was curious if anyone knew why my 28HP Evinrude would be pissing hot water out of the cooling system. I am currently located in the lower Florida Keys and the water tempurature is usually around 70-75 degrees. However, everytime I run my outboard the water coming out of the pisser has got to be between 120-130 degrees. Even the heads, areas around the spark plugs seem to be almost untouchable (180-200 degrees) when the cover is removed. This is after running the engine for about 15 minutes. I believe the impeller might be on its way out and forcing the engine to almost overheat. Sometimes the outboard will sputter a bit but I believe that is a setting on the carb itself.
Would these issures be caused by a bad themrastat at all? Impeller? Clog in the water intake system? Please give me your opinions, I am pretty knowledgable about the outboard, just really do not know where to start problem solving. Thank you!
K.P.F.
