Engine temp


Recommended Posts

What should my Malibu response 98 carb 350 engine running at? Yesterday it was anywhere from 180 to just over 200. Is that Normal? Seems hot. I am going to put new impeller in. Any other ideas or is that normal? Oil pressure and levels look good. Engine was running at various speeds at rpms

I need similar help... My raw water impeller went last fall and I got my boat hot...gauge went to 200.. I immediately shut down, but It did smell like melted rubber or melted Fiberglas ... I limped back to the dock making sure not to get it back up to 200 .. I changed the impeller and now it runs 160 to 180... My problem is since then I have a lot of white smoke or steam coming from the back of the boat .. I never noticed it before but it may have been there... I might just be hyper sensitive to it now since then... Any one else see this in their boat?? ( 2001 sun setter VLX)

I'll try to post a pic or a video
