Question
I have a 24 ft glastron boat that only had 5 hrs on it when I bought the boat it ran fine but started to over heat after I did a fresh water flush . I emailed the company and they told me that the impeller must be bad so I did change it and also changed the themastat. The boat is a 2003 the motor is a v8 volvo io and they said that from sitting the impeller must have gone bad. The boat ran fine after i changed the parts my son does not flush the motor so about two weeks ago i used the boat the last time the boat was used I did a fresh water flush and now it over heated. There is a hook up for the fresh water on the motor I thought that the intake waterports may be blocked but they were clean . I do not know were to go from here the tech at the company has no idear could you help.

The motor is not running
Accepted Answer
Glenn,make sure the cap for the flush is on tight and the gasket is in good condition,if it is not,you can get a air lock resulting in an overheat condition,that flush goes to the engine block,will not get water to the sea-water pump.Hope this helps,let me know if I can help.
