| My motor (optimax) started running hot this weekend after running at cruising speed for about 5 minutes. I shut it down, started it later, and same thing. Let it cool back off and idled in. Motor was pumping water out pee-hole at good rate. Any thoughts?

| The motor is a 2006. Had someone at the condo make the same suggestion on stuck thermostat. What should I expect to spend if I take it somewhere? Thanks for the input.
