Re: Runnin hot...bah!
Tin , you're right, the broke ring would not have anything to do with high pressure. My pressure was 12 to 14 lbs @ 4000 rpm. The only symptoms I had were after running at 4500 rpm for 25 to 30 minutes, the temp alarm would go off, but the gauge only showed slightly above normal. I would stop the boat and turn off the motor. After 1 minute, I could crank it up and run another 25 to 30 minutes.
I would still test the t-stats, even though they are new. I've had brand new ones out of the box be way off . I've also had better results with OEM water pumps & t-stats than "will fits".
