We seem to be having a problem with the engine loosing pree streem at highter rpm. Its pushing a 24 foot pontoon. When we noticed it there was no alarms, I shut it down then fired it back up and it was shooting a good streem. We did this several times with the same reults. Any ideas??

It could be the hub inside the impella slipping when rpms increase. When the friction is overcome, it slips.

Install new impeller. May need the housing as well. Inspect that.

^Agree. Monitor the head temp to make sure it's not overheating.

I installed a new water pump kit and Im finding out that the thermostats are working but the motor will get hot with them in and run cool with them out
