Anyone have this problem? After replacing small formed hose on front of engine
in fresh water cooling system ran engine for ten (?) minutes when overheat alarm
sounded and temp gauge up to top of range. Shut down eng and let cool. Asked my
son in law to remove "radiator" cap to check if water circulating. Said thought I
would crank eng to see if flow. He didn't want to because would loose antifreeze.
Water hot but antifreeze coming out of plastic overflow cold. Replaced cap and
fired up eng. Ran fine and temp in normal range. Took boat out and ran about
hour from max rpm to cruise rpm and stayed at normal temp. Possible thermostat
problem or air lock? Appreciate any answers.
