I think I've got you beat BUP with those muffs . I've had my set for 31 years ! But I think it might be time to replace them though .
When it comes to cooling issues we all have our unique experiences. 2 seasons back the boat was pumping and cooling like a champ . Hauled it and went to flush it out 2 hours later and it would not pick up even a drop of water on the muffs.
Of course I was scratching my head . Later pulled the water pump off (and it's a B3 and it's always had the 'plastic' water pump housing) and 70% of the impeller vanes are gone .
Now HTF did that happen between the slip and connecting the hose 2 hours later ? ? These things are sent to try us .

next info is you most likely have Mercruiser engines and Bravo 3 for outdrives and that means you will have the brass junk Gen VII water pump assembly and that junk brass housing that scores up badly. Another reason why you did not prime water.
I have the fix kit for the scored GEN VII pumps for 50 bucks shipped
