"Hi, I have a 10 or 12 year old force 120 outboard. two years ago when idling slowly, the overheat alarm would go off. we put in a new impeller and problem went away. Yesterday when using the boat for the first time this year, the same thing happened again. I let the motor cool down and then when starting the motor about 30 mintues later, the alarm went off right away as soon as i turned the ignition key. A few minutes later the alarm stopped. today when driving the boat, the boat seemed to operate without any problems. Everything seemed to work fine. the water pumps shows a good spray when idling, but when driving full speed I don't see any water being pumped out. Shouldn't I see water being pumped out the exhaust when running full speed?"
