I don't have any info on the Yamaha, Jay, but I'm curious, did you get your
big motor back together and resolve the overheating problem?

Yes, it is working fine as long as I follow a certain way to get water
into the lower unit. I have already posted a follow-up. Somehow, the
only way to get the water into the lower unit (and pumped up to the
telltale) is to put the lower unit into a water bucket _and_ aim a
water hose directly at the top-water-inlet in the lower unit. Won't
work any other way (muff attachment doesn't work for it). I don't know
why it is so cranky about the way it gets water though.
