Engine runs at 158-161 degrees on plane all the time. Cruising at 3,000-3,600 rpm.
Water pressure has always been 1 psi at idle 9-12 psi cruising. Does not overheat while cruising although max water pressure this year is around 9 psi.
Since I bought it in 2016, When I Come off plane, temps would to rise to 166-170 and quickly cool back to 158
THIS year, coming off plane to 1,000 rpm (2.5 psi water pressure) engine temp has risen to 180 - 188, and on 2 occasions hit 195 and the alarm sounds.
2007 240 Sundeck 350 MAG B3 raw water cooled 575 hours
Salt water boat its whole life
Water inlet inspected every year, no bravoitis.
Fresh water flush kit installed and used after every trip
160 thermostat new his year
raw water pump impeller new last season 75 hours on it since installed
Raw water pump housing has 300 hours on it.
Circulating pump replaced spring 2021 and now has 150 hours on it.
Manifolds and risers installed Spring 2018 at 300 hours.
I’m leaning towards raw water pump housing or circulating pump impeller issues.
any thoughts?
