" I have a 1976 Bayliner with a Volvo 170 hp inline 6. As the engine was warming up I could smell hot rubber. The engine was overheating...225+ the impeller had failed. I had a spare on board, replaced the part, and was on my way. The temp came down, no water in the oil, and it ran smooth. I consider myself lucky! The hub in the impeller had spun. I've noticed that the temperature, while underway, is about 100 degrees. But when I come to a no wake or idle it climbs up to 160+. It's always done this since I've owned the boat. Is this normal? I've tried to find parts for this engine but the older it gets the parts are becomming scarce. Does anyone know where I can find parts?
Thanks in advance! "
