You sure are having a lot of issues with that motor, hopefully this is the last one and it is smooth boating from here on out. Glad you figured it out.

When an issue arises I don't wait for it to turn into what could be catastrophic. When I bought this boat maintenance records of upkeep were not available, only an on sight print out of how many hours accumulated. The test ride told me its condition which I pulled trigger to purchase & bring it home KNOWINGLY there were issues I could address. Half of the issues I dealt with are not even listed here of what I have done. I have a fund to fix my issues, this is what keeps me safe along with others in the boat as well as my tow vehicles.
The plastic water pump housing is an inferior internal part-my opinion, but that's what we all have deal with in some capacity-inferior parts.
