In reality an engine that is running hotter should show a slightly lower oil pressure as the oil temp would be higher. The trouble is that until you get the prelim stuff done it is really just guessing . I think I might verify the temp and oil pressure gages with an IR temp gun on the sensor and a remote oil pressure gage.....that way you will know for sure and double check your dash gages.......good luck man.

I think the new impeller failed. Just won’t know that until I pull it. That is what Occam’s Razor would say.

Has she ever been in salt water and if so, for how long?

Ok. I will. Freshwater on Lake Chickamauga in Tennessee her whole life.

You could have garbage or impeller pieces from a previous failure in the HE or cooler though. Impeller pieces have to be removed manually or flushed out but try Rydlyme to descale and clean the HE and cooler before removing and sending out. Of course check all the other normal things like intake hoses, connections for leaks, strainers, seacock, etc.
Thanks! I won’t be able to get to the boat until January, but will follow that approach. Just have to pick a set of warm days!
