Default 1984 70 horse Yamaha overheating ?

My outboard overheat alarm goes off when backtrolling for a short
period of time. After 5 mins or so it runs fine again and the alarm
never sounds when running at normal speeds. Where should I start a new
water pump the thermostat or a clogged passige way. Im in a bad spot as
salmon season opens tomorrow. Even if I can get the parts today is
changeing the water pump to much to tackle for an average joe at home ?
Any advise or help I would apreciate as Im obligated to friends and a
10 year old boy to fish tomorrow morning.
