Have you run it without the thermostat? I just had an overheat problem. Waiting for new thermostat. But without it temp doesn’t go past 125. Damn $60 for a thermostat!

Pull raw water hoses from risers make sure they’re flowing strong.
Run with cap off stick your finger in make sure you have strong coolant flow.
1 other thing. I had a boat that was sucking a little air on the raw water intake hose. Drove me nuts.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to buy a new boat every 2-3 yrs ?
