Long story short, 2 trips to local repair shop and was told everything fine, took boat out and within 4 mins extreme overheat. Melted exhaust flaps, shift cable. bellows, pump guide. Serial number 534000, believe R or Pre Alpha. Has hook on top cap. After pulling it apart found water passage where tube from pump goes into upper gear box was at least 50% clogged. Need Bellows, shift cable, complete pump assemble and seal where drive shaft enters upper housing. Melted shift cable where could not get it to go into forward gear. Was stuck in reverse. Dropped lower and was able to move shift arm so I can remove upper. Would really like to find exploded diagram so i could get correct parts. Is shift cable the same as a Alpha one gen 2? It looks like a different drive bellows, has 2 clamps on it. Any help would be appreciated. And yes i am worried about condition of engine but without any water flow and stuck in gear i can't test engine.
