I replaced all electrical parts has good spark will run for 5 minutes and gets hot 200 degrees, the block where thermostat goes had a hole on outer side. The guy I bought it from took and cut-up some shop towels and put the cloth in the outer hole and it holed for 5 years. I was not aware of the fix until I went to change the thermostat. I fixed the hole and left the thermostat out to see if the motor would get hot and it still does. I flushed out the hoses and put new impeller in. Motor still gets hot. head-gasket is good. New plugs, points, condenser, cap, rebuilt distributor, put electric fuel pump on. The boat runs fine starts good just gets hot?
Please help??
