Good day all you members. I live in DURBAN South Africa. There are no longer any agents nor readily available spares here.I just joined the forum. Have recently bought a 6.5 meter single deep V supposedly driven by 2 X Chrysler 3 cyls 75 hp. Supposedly because I am only repairing the boat now. Morors get the "chance" later. Boat and motors have been standing for some 6 years. However, motors look extremely clean; hardly any corrosion. Question: My Yamaha has a tell-tale hole through which the circulated water is dispelled. I cannot find this on the Chrysler motor. So, how to know if impeller is still working, rather than having the motor seize-up due to overheating? Your answer will be appreciated.
 
No whizzer tube on the Chryslers.
You can install one if needed.
On top of the head is a screw that you can remove and install an elbow and a tube.
Make sure to drill the hole in the cover so you can see it from the front.
Your motor came with an electrical buzzer to warn of overheating.
Test the system.

On the head is the sender attached with an orange lead.
Turn the key on and ground the orange lead to the block.
It should make the buzzer sound off.
The buzzer can go bad.
Test it by supplying 12v to them.
If they don't work you can replace with any small 12v auto horn.

Before you do ANYTHING!!!
Do a compression and a spark test.
No sense doing all the work and find a dead motor.
