Re: Runnin hot...bah!
Kajun, the mechanic thought that my seal was bad, he said the exhaust would pre-heat the water before it go to the block and cause higher than normal running temp and maybe overheating. Unfortunatly, my gasket was O K .
Tin, I might have missled you with my first post. I never did get the motor to run normal. I lost a season and spent $1,000 on "repairs". I did everything my shade tree experts suggested and finally took it to the local dealer. A week and $700 later he called and said he got it running "cooler". The only thing he noticed was the broke ring. By that time I had had enough, I loved the V-20 hull and wife said life's too short and she missed a summer on the water( She was a teacher then so we took it out 4 or 5 times a week), so I put a new motor on. That was 12 years ago, so I'm due to make that decision again soon. I don't think you have the same problem because of the high pressure symptom
