Are you on mufflers or in the water when you see this ?

i started out on the muffs, then got a tank. it still does it. when i put the throtle to it it streams hard and stredy, just the stop and go on idle has be baffled.

Re: thermostat location

Maybe just increase the tickover a tad .. And if its strong on throttle maybe its not a problem anyways . i have seen a few boats in the water on tickovers and some of them just dribble in fits and starts :)
