Extra long shaft used on a sailboat I purchased. Replaced water pump and housing. Previous owner had ran through mud. Cleaned out lower unit cooling tubes. Water pump was fried. Removed thermostat. Checked thermostat on stove. Found a little grit and sand in thermostat opening. Tried to flush with water.
Started motor. Initially there was a short stream then only steam. Recommendations.
