Yea Capt. screw the jaws you guys should have put your avitar on the bow, now that would get major hoo rah's from me ;D, of course you would constantly be dodging boats in the sea way :D

[captbent]

So Capt...as she's sqweezin' them pups together like that, I noticed you named 'em... the left one is Lyndhurst and the right one is Jamestown??...is that HER left or ours?...

Well, the decal design just wasnt going on as easy at I thought. So I am backing to painting. Hope to have the teeth on Thursday. Also installed the bim top.
Started the motor up today and ran her for only 5 minutes. She wasnt peeing much at all and then the temp alarm went off.

Hammer, I wouldn't sweat it just yet. I've had the motor get warm on the hose as well. The hose barely flows enough water for the motor at idle and will / can suck a hose flat above idle. Also, those Merc's don't pee till the thermostats open.

True....but if he's getting an overheat alarm the motor should be hot enough to be opening the thermostats.

Hammer, I'd change out your impellor and thermostats if you don't know when they were last done.

[Airslot]

I'm guessing that it started to pee a little after a few minutes. Regardless, the thermostats are $10 each. Water pump kit is about $50. Hammer, it's all easy work. The thermostats might take 5 minutes each side on that beast you got. I can do the water pump in 40 minutes or so only 'cause I've done it a few times. Piece o' cake bud.

Also, Mercs don't pee with the pressure of other outboards, it's more of a volume thing.
