Ran this engine in the lake for first time in 18 months today. It had been run recently on the hose and in a tank by the shop doing some tune up work on it. the shop said the water pump looked to be doing it's job. The first run today about 5 minutes into 1/2 throttle the over heat alarm went off and there was no tell atale stream. Went to neutral and the tell tale came back on but the alarm continued. Idled back to the launch and either a hot stream of water was coming out or just steam from the tell tale.
I suspect the water pump but this evening took the thermostat out and left it out to try a run in the AM.
Am I missing anything here? What are the chances of a stuck thermo and not an impeller problem. I am on vacation at a lake cabin until Friday hand hoped to get some fishing in.
Thanks
Dave
