It makes sense to me. Whatever causes the 1st overheat, that triggers a warped plate…and exhaust pulses pushing water away from the cooling system backwards.
If that isn’t fixed, then it will just trigger more problems because the motor can overheat again, and who knows what happens next.
This motor had the gearcase off when I bought it. The previous mechanic said it was turned over to him from his customer several years ago because the customer didn’t want to spend the money to have the impeller changed out. Well we all know there is more to that story than just that now that I have been working on it here on my end.
What do you think of the self-manufactured aluminum baffle I made today? I mean, this is going to be a fresh water motor, and aluminum doesn’t melt until ~1200°, and the motor would have to seize up well before the baffle ever got to that temperature.
I just don’t want to reuse those old baffles at this point…yet.
