So I have had this boat 2 years now, got it for very cheap.
Has the 4 in heat ex-changer, updated manifold/riser.
Now she idles and runs slow great, the weird thing is the temp never goes above 130* at slow speeds.
The issue I am running into is a slow over heat while on a plane, it takes about 5-7 mins to get to 190-195 and thats where I back off and let her cool down.
Took the riser off to inspect looks just fine no chips coming off etc.
Manifold looks like its brand spanking new.
Drive impeller done last year.
Now I heated up my thermostat in water just today, It seems as if its not opening till about 190* and now fully opening till the water almost boils and its rated for 160*.
could this be causing my issue? Why wouldn't it over heat at idle?
Thanks in advance guys!
