Hi. I noticed recently that my engine temp is cycling between temperate ranges of around 140 or 145 F and about 180 F when run at speed (2000 rpm is about max with my folding prop on my C&C 36).
My motor is raw water cooled in a fresh water lake. I have not flushed it in the three years I've owned it and it stays in the water year around and is used regularly.
I replaced my water pump with a Moyer earlier this year and am very pleased with the pump. It moves a lot of water and reduced the slower speed work of the boat by about 10 degrees F as my prior impeller in the old pump was pretty worn.
I read in the FAQ I could crimp the bypass hose a bit to see if this solves the problem and take other steps if it does. https://moyermarine.com/faq-3-2-2-2-2/.
Wanted to check and see if there are other thoughts as well.
thanks.
