That's all ell and good, BUT, like I said "I have now narrowed the problem down to being OUTSIDE the boat (leg). No water coming in the boat. I rigged up a hose direct to the thermo housing inlet from the leg and the engine runs fine, risers warm/cool and engine running at around 165-170 constant."

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and advice. ! 'm pleased to advise ALL DONE - Unheard of apparently, but the centre part of the impeller was spinning without the rubber blade part turning.Thus no water on the boat. This has been a VERY expensive learning curve, so my advice is never take new parts for granted.
