Could be a multiple of issues. Check thermostat. Check all hoses for flow. Check for flow coming OUT of your engine, including exhaust. Check for free flow through your exhaust risers. Check oil for any water infiltration. Pull your spark plugs and look for a wet cylinder. You could have a blown head gasket or cracked head. Pressure test cylinder/heads. Check exhaust manifolds for internal cracks. Good luck!

Mike, try tying a garden hose directly into the raw water pump. f that solves the problem then it's a flow issue between the external water pick up on the hull and the pump. Also, have you smeared lithium grease on the impellor vanes and plate face? Pump could be caveating and loosing suction.
