Good New, It's Fixed!!-RWP just Can't keep up!

Well I be dern - I was right! I gotta tell my wife about this. She says I'm alwsys wrong! LOL!

Glad to be of assistance. Happy boating!
 
Yes You did my man "You nailed it" Thanks for sharing the experiences you've had with your outdrive it really did help me locate my overheating issues.
Remember now, if your sterndrive sets in saltwater like mine does, you "NEVER EVER" want leave the outdrive trimmed up, in freshwater maybe, but in saltwater if left up you will get growth on the Tilt Trim Arms Cylinders than when you lower the drive it will tear up the seals and leak hydrological fluid just another expense we don't need.
Thanks again GoVols.

Hey, STUART.
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the VP outdrive brakes into 2 pieces. They pulled the lower 1/2 off in order to weld a new skeg onto my '04. Then, they bolted back on wrong, which started a month-long expensive investigation into the cause.

Now, since your boat stays in the water, you should check to see if you don't have a bunch of crap growing over your RW intake ports on either side of the lower unit.

I trim my houseboat's outboards all the way up before each outting in order to (1) clean off the fisherman's tangled lines in the props and (2) clean off the RW intake ports so the motors have a good unrestricted supply of water.

Good luck!
