[C320-list] Overheating solution

[Kirk McCullough]

Also if the wire coat hanger doesn't clear the seacock, try using your 
inflatable dinghy air pump. It will blast out weeds etc easily. You can 
connect it to the hose at the strainer and clear that entire section.

Gents,
Some weeks ago I posted a question on an overheating problem.  Many great 
comments were provided.

One, remove the hose at the heat exchanger to see if good water pressure 
existed there, proved to isolate the problem...it was before the exchanger. 
So, although it looked good, I replaced the impeller.  Still little 
pressure, so we backed up and checked each component in the system. Hoses, 
strainer, then the seacock.

After removing the hose to the seacock and sticking a wire hanger down it, 
we had great flow.

The moral to the story is to start at the beginning, not somewhere in the 
middle!

Thanks to all for great suggestions!
