Overheating? That's an understatement!

Re: Overheating? That's an understatement!

Try to run engine at higher RPM with the boat in the water stationary , if not overheat-my theory wins.

Diesel1960,
Once I get my boot (on backorder) and my gaskets, I will try your idea. Until then I have to check all other (on land) issues.

CRAP!!!!
During this whole process while flushing water everywhichway in the manifold, I noticed some water in exhaust port 5. I thought (hoped!) it was my sloppiness. After pulling the elbow off I had a clear view down the exhaust channel. So I applied water to one of the water ports and witnessed a leak that allowed water to travel from the water jacket to the exhaust manifold.
CRAP!!!
The leak is 7" from where the elbow joins the manifold just past the rectangular end plate (whose bolts WILL NOT come off).
CRAP!!!
If there is one hole, there might be more or the possibility of more once pressure builds.
CRAP!!!
Anyone know of a cheap (Hah!) manifold?
CRAP!!!
