Was on the wrong end of the tow rope this afternoon after my 96 model merc overheated and would not restart.
When I got it back home and it started first time.
The impellor is less than 4hrs old. It seems to be pumping a lot of water out where the "leg" meets the "cowling" this doesn't look normal.
Just wondering:
1. if anyone has any experience with overheating problems on this model.
2. If there is some sort of safety switch that shuts the spark off when the motor is too hot and takes a long time (circa 2.5hours) to cool down. I've been told that Merc at one stage had something like this on their starter motors.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers
