1998 Mercury Force 40HP 2 Stroke
Had it out yesterday...after checking the impeller which looks very good...
I believe the reason for alarm in my boat is because it is overheating. Here is why I think. With this motor the discharge is large hole on the back side of the motor. At idle speeds it is more of a spray. Normal for this motor.
At trolling speeds only...I overheat.
Folks I am unable to troll....or idle extended periods of time....how can this be resolved?
