Hi<br /><br />Im not sure exactly what year it is, i think 1997, but a while back, my friend drove it onto the beach and was running in gear, only a little over an idle, but it was in sand for a few seconds. Ever since the boat has been overheating and after say half an hour on the water, it will not go maximum revs, even at full throttle, water still comes from the telltale, but it is extreemly hot, steaming even. Any help? :D

Re: Evnirude 25 overheating

suggest you start from the bottom up on this. Sand will ruin an impeller. In addition, I suggest you flush the system with fresh water. Force water up the water tube when the lower unit is removed for work on the water pump. You should remove the thermostat to flush the system.
