I just pulled the boat for the winter and I think something is not right with the cooling system. First thing I did was pull the thermostat and reinstalled the housing without the new stat. Then I put on muffs to flush the engine. I started it up and noticed there was no water coming out the prop. There was a small amount spurting out the port and starboard exhaust ports. Seems like a smoked water pump impeller but I never had a problem with overheating all summer. I put about 60 hours on the engine and the gauge never rose above 175.
So how much water should I see out the exhaust and where should I look? I know Bravo 3 has through prop exhaust but should I also see water coming out the ports under the gimbal ring?
