It might be the thermostat sticking



But when i flush it like that it opens and the temp is fine and i can run it for a while to flush it out.. I only have this problem when I launch the boat dry, and by dry is when its set up for a week or two between uses.

Might be the impeller wearing out and not having a good suction for water pickup. You are right the thermostat would not come into play until it reached the temp needed to open. That would not be happening at the launch when you drop the boat in the water...

ETA, an impeller kit is only going to cost you ~$50 I would replace that and see how it goies. You are looking at a couple of hundred for a trip to a shop, plus drive time there and back...
