Now with about 25 hrs on this new system including one hard run against the current for over an hour, nearly full throttle. Temp remains 140ish in slightly warmer bay. Then:
I installed the new super delux Moyer thermostat. Temps are now 180 to 200.
Even though I know a hotter engine is happier I nervously watched all parameters (including engine sound) closely. My head said one thing my heart another.
Results: the engine is quieter, smoother sounding. Runs as well as ever. I get a shade over 100 more rpms more at wot- same, if not, dirtier prop and bottom. Very happy with performance.
