    should have remembered,had same simptons on cust boat 25 yrs ago in san diego-animals (shelled )work into cooling system and plugged housing.the more water is pumped by running engine the bigger the animals grow. remove hose and pour bleach into housing after boat gets used and animals will die..-th
