Neighbor asked me to install impeller because he sucked up some muck and noticed pee hole wasn't as strong. Fresh water outboard. I installed impeller(old one looked pretty good). I hooked up muffs and ran for a few minutes. The pee hole water started steaming and overtemp alarm came on. I cleared some debris from thermostat orifices and verified they opened and closed. Still overheating. I ran with thermostats and covers removed but no water makes it up to thermostat holes. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure your thinking of the right style. This has the thermostats on the top of heads and there's no hoses going to them.
