Hey All,

New here and needing some direction and advice. Back in January, I bought a boat and motor that was blown/seized up with the intention of finding a good used motor for it. Then decided to rebuild the original motor, (1989 Evinrude 150hp E150TLCEM V6 Crossflow) I just today got it started for the first time and discovered it gets pretty hot while idling at around 1000 RPM. I did replace the water pump and thermostats and poppets during the rebuild/refurbish process. Any suggestions why this would be happening? When I first ran it on the muffs, I was getting water out the pee tube, but not much pressure on this. I could stop the flow just by setting my finger on the hose.

Thanks Much
Scott
