Solved
Well it took me awhile to figure this out but I was able to resolve all my engine woes. The boat was new to me and the initial problem was overheating. In summary I replaced the impeller, cooling hoses, water jacket side plate and installed a diverted valve just after the t junction. Don Moyer bless his heart suggested I replace the exhaust hose leading to the transom which I did. I also acid flushed engine and my overheating engine was fixed.
Then my coil died. So I replaced my coil. Spark but the engine refused to start. Checked fuel flow to carb was fine. Flow to filter was fine. Lots of fuel. So I went back to my spark and tested each plug. Good spark. I pored gas through each spark plug hole. No start. So gas wasn’t my issue. Then I looked at how my coil was wired and realized it was wrong. Switched one wire leading to alternator and it jumped to life. Such an easy fix if you know what you’re doing. I’m still learning but grateful to everyone of you who helped me through this.
