"I have an AQ131A which i just got back from the shop after major engine work. I had a cracked cam on the camshaft which needed to be fixed and the starter replaced. I took the boat out this weekend and a couple of times it made a squeal like a loose belt. I then took the kids out yesterday and the engine was overheating. I assume it's a problem with the water pump but I don't know if I should just replace the whole pump, start with the impeller or maybe something else. I pulled the cover to the pump, but nothing really jumps out at me. The "wings" on the impeller don't seem to be completely symmetrical, they are facing in different directions, but it looks like that might be what is supposed to happen. Thanks for help!"
