[QUOTE="Eddie Bait, post: 272914, member: 8758"] I have a 1984, 15 H.P. Yamaha that runs well. But this past week while I fishing I noticed that the back of the motor, just below the head, got extremly hot. I couldn't keep my hand their longer than 20 seconds. The out spout had water coming out of it, and the lower unit and head was not hot. Is this normal? Should I replace the impeller? Average cost for the shop to replace the impeller? I just picked up the motor this spring, so I don't know the history of it. But it starts right up, and is a strong motor. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
