sounds like you may need a lower unit seal kit,also feel the water thats coming out of the prop area it should be a little warm but not extreme so it does not burn you.
thermostat should open within a few minutes at idle speed.
make sure the intake screen is clear if and when you try the flusher ears again
fyi : i would have the impeller changed,its 5 yrs old they are made of rubber and get dry/fail.causing major issues heads warp crack overheat etc
