If you are messing with a "bypass valve" be sure the t'stat is removed and/or the correct type of t'stat. Many variations out there. How is yours set up?

Well bit of confusion here on my part - I have the bypass valve off the old engine but apparently I did not put it on this engine - so right now there is no adjusting valve. Easy swap out but didn't do it. Must have gotten my "to do" list and my "finished" list mixed up!

The T-stat is a 160 '3 spring" one that worked nicely in the pot of boiling water. I'll see if I don't have more info on it or pics. And I'm running raw water.

I'm in Fresh water of Lake Ontario.

The prop I'll have to get back to you; I have the notes somewhere but I think it is 13 x 9 (2 bladed) on an Alberg 30
