    Help! 2000 Johnson 90hp V4 overheating on one side only...

    can't say but the water flow under thermostat control may not be sufficient to provide the same cooling as a wide open flow with no thermostat., if you do not feel like pulling the cyl head try a new set of thermostats has suggested by saltchuckmatt to get even temperatures on both...
