well I tried the 31/2 foot . It didnt work. I still got a rock in the
t-stat. this time though I ran the boat at wot for about 15 minutes and

the
rock finally let go

Try checking the water inlet.... is the screen still in place? What
you describe ... in 3.5 feet of water is *very* strange....




no screen that I can see. its an alpha 1 leg if that matters.



Is this an inboard/outboard type of thing that can be tilted up?


Alpha 1 is an I/O. I do not know how rocks can get into the water
intake as the holes are pretty small.
