Over heating

[rossg]

I have been boating and fishing for 35 years and never had an over heated engine till now.
First trip out and an alarm goes off look at the console and the temp gauge is lit up.
Limped home on engine #2 hooked up the hose and tried to wash the junk out.
No help
Cant believe i have to come out and drop the lower unit. Better now then when Im 25 miles off shore-Sounds like a water pump
