Please let me know if you can help mi with the Mercruiser 6.2 engine cooling.
Regal 26 Express yacht, 2017, Mercruiser 6.2 engine. 230 mg
I was sailed the yacht in 2019 in the Adriatic Sea. There was no problem.
I was not saild in 2020. I made yacht service. I drained water and filled glycol filling.
The pump implerer was replaced. After replacing there was some a problem with the pump drawing the water and the engine was overheated on the land.
In 2021, the engine worked properly for 10 minutes after I put the boat to the water.
Leaving the port after 10 minutes, making a 180-degree, 10kn turn, I heard bubbling from behind under the aft platform and noticed white / gray smoke from under the platform. I also heard a squeak, an engine alarm and the lever became useless. max speed up to 7 kn.
I turned it off and nothing has changed.
I turned off again ant the problem was canceled, it was possible to sail.
However, every time after relapse, the problem appeared. The temperature jumps towards 100 degrees Celsius and the water pressure drops below 10 kPa.
One day I could siled without faults
Currently, the problem arises when swimming straight ahead.
After a few minutes of swimming, the temperature jumps to 100 ° C and the water pressure drops below 10 kPa.
The holes that suck the water are clean. Nothing wrapped around the bolt.
In my opinion, there is a problem with water intake for cooling. Perhaps the elements are salted by the waters of the Adriatic Sea (although the yacht was sailing normally for one day, no faults). The second one may be a defective Implerer. Pipes at the zip line are clean, undamaged.
Please guide me to the problem, where to check defects.
Currently, the yacht on the land

I assume your motor has the sea loop and then the freshwater loop. If the engine temp is getting high (we run at 175F), then one of the 2 loops isn’t working. Since you have no water in your exhaust steam, that indicates it’s the raw water system. The loop goes like this - seawater pickup to water strainer to water pump, through exhaust manifolds, a T directs water though the engine heat exchanger.
If you have no water going though and the through hull intake is clean, then either strainer (plugged or an air leak) or the change they did to the impeller isn’t correct (wrong impeller, raw water pump has an air leak or the belt is slipping or the pump housing has worn. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

100 C way too high! 75/80 C should be normal max. As mentioned check sea strainer, rubber sea water impeller, plugged heat exchanger. etc.
