"I unknowingly wrapped up the lower unit w/ weeds a couple of trips ago and after getting on plane within a couple of minutes the engine overheated and shut down. After clearing weeds, it started right up and ran fine 10-15 minutes back to dock.
Since then the pee stream has slowly decreased each trip (2) and on the last trip finally went to a trickle. Fished close to ramp all day but it never overheated in the few short WOT runs.
Before tearing into it, do you guys think it could just be a plugged water port or do you think I fried the impeller when it overheated?
Not overheating since then causes me to wonder.
Any ideas or quick checks?
Thanks"
