    OverHeat Alarm

    Guys this just started happening this year...
    every time i get in some choppy water my alarm sounds
    I look back and there's no water coming out the pee hole
    shut motor off, wait a minute, fire it back up-hammer it in reverse then it'll start peeeing again

    Only thing i did was change impeller last winter
    So I dropped the motor down 1.5 dots on slidemaster, hoping it would help pick up more water
    still doing it
    last night after i hooked garden hose up to that fitting and let the water flush her out for about 10 minutes
    hopefully that helps...
    again, only in choppy 2-3' waves
    looks like my water pressure is around 10psi on the analog gauge

    any ideas as to why it's occurring?

    IMO if it just started happening this year after changing the impeller over the winter I would start looking there. If the motor always ran and cooled fine changing the height is futile.
