1999 VOLVO 5.0 RWC.....backed out of the slip today thru 25 yds of eel grass. Went to get gas and saw boat overheating. Shut it down . no water coming to raw water pump (mounted on engine). Disconnected all hoses from raw water pump to transom and backwashed. Only place I cant see is in the lower unit. Not sure of the configuration there. Did get water to pump but didnt look very strong. Was wondering if exhaust could be plugged and if i shd back wash from risers on back. Boat keeps overheating ...fast.... I believe its related to backing thru those weeds and there is a clog somewhere. What am I missing. All cooling parts new this year or last. Pulled raw water impeller and it didnt get fried...replaced it
anyway..pulled thermostat. Any ideas where else to flush?
