[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5786329, member: 2805"] I figured out what toasted my impeller... user error... 3 trips ago I launched my boat, tied it off with motor running and peeing and left the motor running to warm up (like I always do). Motor trimmed partway up after launching. As I parked the rig, i got a terrible crap attack. Hobbled to the bathroom at the launch, took care of business, and when I got to the boat, the high temp alarm was going off (never done this before). Motor shut down just as I got into the boat. I trimmed the motor all the way down, waited a few minutes, then cranked the motor. Started right up and was peeing fine. Fished that day and twice since then. But I'm thinking as small as this boat was, I had the motor intake submerged when I was in the boat, but when I got out, the intake came out above the water line and got inadequate circulation/ cooling. At least I didn't have a crap attack while out in the marsh fishing. been there, done that, and it wasn't pretty. [/QUOTE]
