"The other day the motor overheated sitting at the dock during warm up prior to heading out, but had noticed on the last couple of trips that it seemed to not be peeing as much as in the past. Figured it was as simple as needig a new impeller kit. I have noticed that it seems to be puffing air out the pee hole when there is no water flow which I thought was strange. Not sure about the exhauat bridge, but will check into it.
Last year had problems when the wrong plugs were istalled, during the course of the shop working on it they broke two of the bolts in the thermostat cover, then found that the running problems were the plugs. Based on the problems I had with the shop I picked up the boat, had to R&R the heads send to machine shop to get bolts out, they broke off flush with the head. When I had the heads off I found that the zinc anode had been left out so I replaced that along with all the gaskets and thermostat. Ran boat a couple of times then ran into this problem. My mechanical background is that I was an ASE Certified Mechanic in the 80's and 90's injured my neck and shoulder then moved into management, so I have the skills and tools to do the work, just not as much time. There is not a Suzuki shop in my area so here I am working on it myslef!
Thanks for the help!"
