    Water pump (impeller)

    Thermostat would be stuck open or closed, I wouldn't think it would be intermittent. Is The Water Pick Up clear with no Obstruction? Check the hose that runs from the cylinders to the pee hole. Make sure it's not obstructed.

    Boat top speed questions

    Fin on the Motor should be on the same plane as the Boat bottom. Put motor in the operating position, put a Straight Edge on the Boat Bottom. Adjust the Jack plate to match. Try tilting the Motor to different positions. Use a GPS on a Smartphone for MPH. GOOD LUCK!

    Newbie with a paint question

    Any Home Center re. Lowes can mix Enamel (Oil Base) in any color you want. Much cheaper than Auto Paint. To spray it use Enamel Reducer instead of Paint Thinner. This is what Painters use on Exterior Steel Doors. Hope this helps you out.
