..Mike,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, the strainers were clear and it's RAW water cooled. You would think it's something simple.....but I must be retarded because she keeps getting HOT. I don't mind if she's HOT looking, but I don't want her HOT running...

My gut feeling tells me that the pump doesn't work fast enough for the engine. If I stay at a low RPM, she's fine...but as the revolutions increase....the water that is being drawn in, just isn't enough to keep her cool. <<<???>>> Or, maybe the water doesn't exit out fast enough. Maybe the HOT water is staying in the engine too long. We did the hose test and it passed fine. (disconnected the hose and counted the time it took to fill a 5 gallon bucket)..so it makes it seem like the water intake/output is ok, UNTIL...you get on her!!!

...when you see that boat out there that keeps looking like it's running out of gas, come over and say hello.

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
