"hi, i've got a 1978 seara
"hi, i've got a 1978 searay with an omc ford engine and ourdrive with 2 problems.
1. overheating. i've replaced the waterpump and thermostat. all hoses and cleaned the thermostat housing. with a hose hooked up to it i still goes past 230 degrees and sounds like its boiling water with i turn the engine off.
2. the outdrive will only go down for some reason. this only stared happening after i took it out for the first time and overheated on a lake, barely making it back to dock. i've swapped the solenoids and the only way to get it to go up and down is to connect the up solenoid wire to the down terminal on the other solenoid. i'm at a complete loss here.
i have no idea why it's overheating and electrical problems are always difficult.
if anyone has any ideas i'll take all comers.
thanks"
