Re: QD19 running a little hot?

Now I’m REALLY stumped – it’s got the right base gasket. I guess I’ll rig up something to simulate water going into the block and see how much comes out where. One thing I’ve noticed – not much, if any water and exhaust seems to come out the snout at the back & under the cav. plate – and that’s the water that would cool the midsection and shift mechanism. I just don’t know – the impeller, wear plate & housing are all good. If the powerhead isn’t overheating, why would the midsection?
To H with it, I’m going to the jetty and have a couple cold ones, it’s as hot as August here today.
