-Pull the outdrive
-Disconnect the exhaust and wiring
-2 bolts at mid engine mounts and 2 on the back of the motor?

disconnect P/S lines
Throttle cable
Shift bracket
Fuel line
Inspect the exhaust bellows and shutters in the Y pipe,
...they probably got fried.

Did the audio alarm go off ?
It should when engine is OVERHEATING,
oil pressure is low, or drive oil reservior is low.

Re: What happened to this motor?
I don't think that it was ever ran dry.
Is there a way to wire up some sort of safety to make the engine shut down at a certain temp? Sort of like a low oil pressure shutoff but with the temp?

?
?
ice bag, or some kind of other floating debris.
Gets caught on a lower, disrupts water flow
to the inlets, frys the impeller, overheats
the engine.
It's happened to me before.

Re: What happened to this motor?
My water pickups are mounted to the transom. I can see how this can happen though. I would think that even if it overheated that it wouldn't take out a bearing with it. That is why I thought that it was the oil pump.
