So my 82 Sea Ray with a Merc cruiser out drive heated up on me on the lake. got so hot you could hear the water "sizzle" off the motor as the kids were getting out of the lake. Obviously the temp gauge or sending unit is not working. That being said, Any chance this is a thermostat, or am I looking at pulling the out drive apart and replacing the impeller?
As a side note, when I have been running it out of the water, hooked to the muffs, it has not been getting hot.
Thanks in advance!
