Coulda been clogged thermostat. I know the mercurys come stock with the pisser on the bottom of the head before the water even passes through the thermostat. Meaning you could be pissing fine but the whole time your thermostat is clogged and your motor is over heating. You have to move the piss indicated to the top hole on the top cylinder and plug the bottom to get an accurate reading.
