I have a 2003 Merc 150 XR 6 that is overheating. The impeller/water pump and pop-it valve have been replaced and water flow thru the heads has been checked and verified but it still has a problem. Anyone have any suggestions on what the problem could B?

I assume so and that is the next thing on my list to check. After that, I have no clue!

Could be head gaskets. My '89 Pro V was getting hot some years ago and that's what fixed it.

Head gaskets would be my guess

Are you sure the impeller has the fins turned the correct way??? Seen this be an issue.
