I recently swapped out my m2 lower on my 08 250ho etec to a older gen standard lower with a Bob's nose on it. Pressure went from 25+ at wot to 14 with the new foot and now I'm getting overheats. Gear case man doesn't think it's the foot so I'm wondering why this could be happening?

did you use your same water pump or did one come with the gearcase?

I believe the impeller was swapped from the old lower to the new one but not the whole kit.

Are the original water intakes covered up?
Yes, it has been converted to a low water pick up with returns on the left and right side of the lower and the originals blocked off.

I take it that the additional hose didn't improve your pressure....? What does Bob think about modifying the intake area ?
No the extra hose did nothing for the water pressure. I haven't talked to Bob's yet, I was waiting to hear back from a different tech up by me.

Bobs would probably be the best source of info/guidance.....Originally Posted by Fishingguide

Another possibility would be damage to the water intake tube due to the case having been removed and reinstalled several times. (ie bending or kinking) the tube. This is a common occurrence.
