My 2014 BF30 has seen very little usage of the last year. When I tried starting recently I would get an alarm after about three minutes of running. I pulled the thermostat and put in a new one. Old one was a mess. We fired up the engine and ran it around our marina and all seemed well. Today we took it further out in the bay and when we opened her up and got it plan the alarm came back and the engine slowed to idle. I would shut it off and wait a few minutes before turning it back on. If we kept it at idle it was fine. It seems to be peeing good but I'm wondering it a worn impeller could be not supplying enough water and I'm still getting an overheating problem. Thoughts?
The only other weirdness on the engine is the dipstick grommet that holds it in place has come loose and now has to be seated with a screwdriver. But the oil is full and no water is getting under the cowling.
Thanks for any advice. I'm pulling out my hair on this!
