Default Hot Engine

Yes I took the muffs off, although I'm not beyond making that kind of mistake. I'm also sure that the engine got that hot, cause I could smell oil cooking and could not touch the engine at all. New thermostat today and we'll see. I will have this fixed soon!

Default NOt Thermostat!

Well, looks like I will have to pull the lower unit to check the impeller and I think i will pull the water pump while I'm at it just to make sure. Any other suggestions? I put i a 140 degree thermostat and the temp went up to 180 and was still going when i shut down.

You're going the route I'd take.
First the t-stat and then the impeller.
But me being an outboard guy it would be reversed.

Did have an interesting problem one time with Guinea Wasps building a nest in the foot preventing the water uptake.
