Default Mercury Outboard Overheating

Running lean?
You should probably throw an impeller at it if you don't know the status of the
one you have. There are 5 bolts right near the cavitation plate, 4 down and one
up from the bottom inthe back. That drops the foot. Then the impeller is in a
small can around the shaft.

Ya, I'd suspect a carb thing leaning it out.

I drop the foot and check out the impeller as well as get the mixture looked
at.
