Was wondering if anyone knows what my water pressure should be running around, I haven't checked it WOT but around 4500 rpm it's around 10-13 psi. any info will help ease my worry thanks...

Is that motor is a 60*V6? If so, it should be near 30PSI at high throttle opening. If you are only seeing 10-13PSI, you likely have an issue. Are the thermostats installed? How old is the waterpump?

Yes it's the 60' V6, thermostats are installed and the water pump is about 4 years old I only run it in fresh water and use it about 8-10 times per year for tubing mainly, noticed it looked a little lower on the pressure since last year guess it's time to change out the impeller?
