Replaced both shutters on the engines wasn't all that difficult once I googled the procedure. Also found out that both risers needed replacing so did that also as also both riser bellows. Engines on muffs run about 150 to 160 at the coolant reservior and cooler at the hoses and very cool at the risers. Still have to run it at the lake to see if it stays cool. Have one thing left to do and that is shift adjustment and need help with that so will have to get my wife to hold the prop. There is also a very slow leak somewhere doesn't seem to be at the shift cable entry. Only causes the pump to come on once a day for about 10 seconds. It could of been the brass drain plug as it didn't have tape on it. I have caulked all the spots where water can enter so I can only hope I have solved the issue. If not I will pull the outdrives and replace the shift bellows(even though they are new). It has cooled down now so I can get things finished up and get the boat out to the lake.
