hello everyone i just bought my johnson 100 a couple months ago. when i run it on a hose or idle it in the water the starboard cylinders get much hotter than the other two on the other side. ive been told by some boat mechanics that most of the time they just remove the thermostats and let water run freely. im debating whether to do this or not? ive been using my boat for a couple months and just got over some bad coils and a power pack on the same side. im not sure if my thermostats are original or not but should i attempt to remove them or replace them? ive had it running for full days on the water the way it is and im assuming that if it were to overheat or have some sort of problem due to the thermostat not working properly it wouldve happened already, but then again im unsure. at idle the starboard gets much hotter but sometimes when i check it in the middle of a ride it will be cool. not sure what to make of it all i dont want to damage anything has anyone had this problem or heard of this before?
