Hi

I have a 2000 johnson 90hp looper that is overheating it will get to about 175 shooting the head with a temp gun. So I removed the thermostats and the port side runs much cooler but the starboard side is still overheating what can I do and a large amount of water is flowing out between the midsection and the lower unit. I dropped the lower unit and it looks good but I can't tell about the plastic pipe that carries the water to the head.


Thanks:

Re: Need Help

well, it needs the tstat to run at the proper temp. diverters in the cooling system could be bad, impeller needing replacing, has it been changed in the last 2 years, if not change it? Fresh water or Salt water motor?
