On my 1998 Four Winns volvo penta 5.7 gsi, i'm having intermittent overheating issues.
It happens after running the boat and idling down for a little bit. The temp gauge starts climbing and only goes back to normal when I put in neutral and rev engine. I have replaced the impeller, thermostat, baffles have been checked, outdrive pulled and inspected.
It doesn't do it all the time either. When pulling skiers and idling down it runs fine most of the time.
To me, it's almost like the engine gets too warm back in the compartment that Four Winns built around it.
Any Suggestions?
