Hi Dave
did you run the engine out the water (even for seconds) with no mufflers by any chance if so you would have damaged the rubber impeller in the gearbox. this is a relatively easy job to do & is a minor inconvenience in the scale of marine maintenance

I bought a capri cuddy a couple of months back and after renewing the
hydrolic pump have finally put her in the water. Unfortunately she is
overheating after about 5 minutes. I'm new to boats so would
appreciate any advice you can offer. The boat has never been in the
sea. There is no water stream coming from the engine so I'm guessing
either the impeller is shot or the system is blocked. What is the
first thing I should be checking. I've had a look and cant see any
easy way of checking the insides, it looks like the whole bottom end
needs to be removed to check the impeller. I'm not even sure where the
intake holes are so would greatly welcome any information and advice,
cheers
Dave
