Re: Need help! I’m stuck and boat overheating can’t figure out why
If not, I recommend closing the ball valve at the thru hull and remove remove the hose from the back of the impeller. Get a spotter and have them help you. Open the ball valve to allow water through the ball valve while you watch the strength of the flow of water from the hose. Keep your hand on the ball valve so you can shut it if the water flow is high.
If you have some form of blockage, your water flow from the hoses may be reduced or it may flush what is blocking it.
I did this to determine that my intake for my A/C pump was blocked.
I say this, assuming you have checked for all other water flow issues that have been mentioned previous.

And around the 10 minute mark he mentions how crappola in the riser cooling caused his boat to overheat at the dock but be fine with the increased pressure of running.
Might this win the big prize?
