I’ve recently re-powered the boat with a new engine. I went with a Edlebrock 4 bbl carb and intake. I have installed a new raw water pump as well. New hoses to the outdrive. On muffs it gets up to around 195 degrees. I just put it in the lake this past weekend. I noticed that under load this thing will overheat. I had an issue with the alarm so it’s disconnected at the sensor on the thermostat. This 2000 Glastron SX175 got up right around 240 degrees before I realized and backed off on the throttle to cool it down quick. It cooled to just under 200. Can someone shed some light on what’s going on. New raw water pump, new thermostat and housing, new risers, new circulation pump, new hoses. Checked everything, it’s all tight and good. Could my outdrive be leaking internally and sucking air? How hard of a task is it to check this and make sure that’s what it is? I’ve got a 15.25x21 aluminum prop on this dude from Hustler. It’s run in freshwater at the lake here in Texas. I’m ready getting exhausted with this thing and running out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.
