There is a fitting that the water intake from drive goes through that I had to replace because it gradually pinches off. Drives have to be pulled to get to it. Is your psi not increasing when you bring rpms up? Cost me $1500 to have drives pulled and new hose fitting put in. Good time to check bellows/gimbals.

Need Help
I have 2006 SD 290. My port engine 5.0 is over heating at idle. Had guy come change impeller in sea pump. Had him do both whlle he was here. The SB side hose gushed water when he disconnected and was below water line but port side only trickled water. Obvious blockage somewhere. We tried forcing water back through line with garden hose and appeared to help..Still not the flow SBoard had so we figured lets see if new impeller would help. It didn't. It over heated again
Now whats confusing is that it overheated a few weeks ago I gave it RPM and it cooled. Took boat out next day up and down intracoastal and was fine. Next weekend took out, cruised about 10 miles at idle and was fine. Stopped to eat at Bokampers couple hours , head home night time got almost all the way home and alarm sounded. Over heat.
