Maxum SCR 2900 Mercruiser Losing power after planing out

[swicks44]

Last season I had a problem with my boat losing power just after planing out, it would almost stall.  On the last trip of the season on the way in at low speed the boat overheated, alarmed and shut down.  I replaced the impeller and I'm launching the boat for the first time this season tomorrow.  My question is could the loss of power be associated to the failing impeller and low flow for cooling.  Something where the engine was responding to heating up but did not alarm because it did not reach temps too high?  Other suggestions welcome.  Thanks.<BR>
