Force 120 overheating at full speed

[Docbarn]

I have a 1998 Force 120 that the over heat light and buzzer goes off when going full throttle, top speeed of about 45 mph. Warning light and buzzer does not go off at less then 30 mph or trolling speed. There is good flow out the pee hole at all times and the engine seems to run fine. Any suggestions.

Perhaps the motor is trimmed out too far and the water pick is partially out of the water? Not supplying enough water?
