I have had cooling problems in myA-4 powered Catalina 30 since I've owned it. I've just rebuilt an A-4 and had the block bored and cleaned. All my pumps,both fresh and raw have been refreshed. Water has plenty of volume at the exhaust. Replaced heat exchanger with a new Moyer supplied unit, new Thermostat and the Moyer bypass is closed. Have the Moyer thermostat kit. Replaced the exhaust manifold with a new unit and the exhaust riser .
At 1800 RPM it runs at 190 degrees. I've replaced the temperature gauge and sending unit also. I've just installed an Indigo prop , 10 X 7.4 three blade and at 1800 the boat is doing 6 knts. max rpm is 2000 and at that rpm temperature runs closer to 200.
Is this what it's supposed to do with a 160 deg. t-stat or does anyone know anything else I can do to get the temperature down toward 180 range
