I do know that MERCURY set there overheat alarm at a very low temp. A friend had a 90 HP and 2 little pieces of grass on the pickup would set the hot horn off.

Well, I when to church this morning and prayed for patience, then I stuffed myself at Golden Coral.

Then I removed the thermostats. I doubt that they were slowing down much water.

Buttoned her back up, started and ran for about 3.5 minutes before the alarm came on.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Kajun has turned me onto a Merc. Mechanic who helps people online (thanks dude), guess I'll see what he suggests next.

You can see that it pees good at idle.

I did stop in Walmart after lunch and pick up a couple items. Some 5200, some silicone sealant, and a new winch strap (the hook is tied on to the old one).

But instead of doing anything else to the boat today I did what any good southern dad does on Sunday afternoon, I gathered up the kids for some shootin practice.
