When I purchased my 31 Open one engine ran hot.
I removed the bronze intake screens off and removed half a dozen dead crabs about the size of a quarter and a colony of barnacles.
I have no idea how in the world they got in there.
I also reamed the intake holes out with a 1/8" or 3/32" bit that were half plugged with bottom paint ,
No more heat issues since.
