Have done all troublshooting with hatch open.
new 130 T-stat last week
new hoses, water pump rebuild
new gimbal, U-joint, gaskets, etc lower unit

started it up right away this morning, ran fine for 10 mins, then shut off. tank vent tube clear.

I had it on a lake last friday, and it lasted for about 45 mins pulling kids on tube. Now it won't last more than 10 minutes.
If you are always using the boat in fresh water, I would UP the T-Stat to 165. Don't know what else to tell you. NB
