We drifted in calm water for about 10 minutes and I turned the engine back on and the temp went right down.

I remember reading here somewhere that an owner leaves his boat keys on the handle of the seacock every time he closes it for any reason. At the time I thought to my self, " That's a great idea!." Well, from now on I will put that idea into practice. Lesson learned.
I did the same thing last fall but I didnt get so lucky and have the temps drop on restart. The impeller was only a few months old.The one on the left is the results of my lapse in memory.
