          silt is a vegetated matter, it should flow through,now sand is abrasive,thats no good for a impeller on a outboard. on a inboard it would harm the water pump.the few inboards i putzed with in fresh water never had any water system clogs or damage i knew of from silt.water pumps are fairly easy replacement on a engine BUT1 put that engine in a compartment thats small offta!.what you runnin as a boat? motor?

              highbreeze post is right,I’m on diamond it just sealed up,the shore line is walkable out maybe 100 yds then it thins quickly.I will go by kronis fri on the way to stcloud,my guess is its about the same as green almost wide open. EVER LOOK AT MODIS satilite view? if it clears of clouds you can tell if frozen or open…https://ge.ssec.wisc.edu/modis-today/index.php?satellite=t1&product=true_color&date=2020_12_16_351&overlay_sector=false&overlay_state=true&overlay_coastline=true&sector=USA3&resolution=250m

                          the engine oil capacity doesn’t include the oil filter capacity.so the .55 must be the filters fill. i have noticed in the last years small engines come with oil filters and cheaper models of the same engine come without.

                            that crack is in the water jacket,only thing it may have caused a problem with is the water pump housing .its not near the lower oil case. run it and make sure its pumping water out the telltail/peehole. i have a rebuilt lower forsale if needed.actually its a whole 1975 25 johnson that i redid the whole ignition system and lower unit. how the heck did it get hit there? on a boat the transom protects that area of the motor?

                              my guess is it must be sucking air somewhere in the intake,lots of hose clamps,gaskets for air to enter and rob the choke,the check valves are in the carbs

                                  Thanks fellas. I think my cousin is going to replace both the impeller and the thermostat. Dew – that scenario seems the most likely to me. I read a few posts on iboats about a stuck poppet valve, or in yamaha’s terms a “pressure control valve” – any experience with those?

                                  Abit, that shouldnt be the problem at low/slow speed.Is it fixed? what fixed it?
