"Hi I have a 2002 VP 5.0 GXI engine that I just changed the raw water impeller on. It's the kind that mounts on the crankshaft. I did put muffs on it and everythng seemed like it was working fine there was no leaks or anything! I put it in the water today and everything seemed ok but after I whle I noticed the boat seemed to be runnng waay to cool under power and it wouldn't let me go full throttle without the engine cutting in and out, acting as if it was too cold for that throttle position. When I let the boat sit and idle in the water I noticed the engine temp was climbing up and as soon as I would start driving it again it would go down really quick! I know I put the impeller in the right direction it's rubber and didn't have any curve to it at all. I'm pretty positive that I put the 2 hoses that connect on to it on the right parts of the pump. What do you think is wrong. It runs hotter when standing still idling and too cool when it's under power! Please help me out!"
