I have a 1991 Bayliner Capri in board outdrive L drive that was overheating so I replaced the impeller. The alarm would go off before I replaced the impeller plus it melted the rubber around the wire of the alarm so I knew it was getting hot. I removed the alarm that goes in the head and it looked good still so I put it back in and put tape around the melted part of the wire. Also, when I took the old impeller out, it was shredded I don’t think I got all the shredded pieces of the old impeller out because when I ran it with a new impeller after replacing it out of the water a water hose hooked up to earmuffs, the alarm went off still. But then I backed in the water and the alarm doesn’t go off, but the motor gets very hot. I know it’s supposed to get hot from running it but it just seems it’s getting too hot. What is the running temperature that it is supposed to run at idle?
