Just bought this boat, and this site was really helpful last week. I think it's running too hot, and inconsistent water at tell-tale. I replaced both T-stats and water pump rebuild kit Friday night. It's running equal or less water from tell-tale now. It can't be right, after running a couple miles on plane and coming straight back to idle, there's just drips of water coming out. I'm going out now to remove all hoses and check for blockage, maybe even lower unit, and T-stats to try and force water up the line, and out top of motor. Pressure guage never gets above 3-4 psi? Is pressure samples at top of motor, or down by water pump? I see a pnumatic line down there?
Also, while on plane, there is an intermittent "screeching" noise (also present last time out with old parts). You can throttle up or down a little bit and it goes away then comes back. Almost sounds like a high frequency vibration or something. Very anoying. I'm hoping one of you guys knows what this could be. Sorry for limited info.
