Tariq	posted 07-19-2002 03:47 PM ET (US)         I have a good water stream and have replaced the theromstat but if i go higher than 1800 rpm the egines gets hot very easily any comments

Clark Roberts	posted 07-19-2002 04:02 PM ET (US)             Your engine has a pressure control by-pass valve which is spring loaded and at modest to high rpm (and high press) it opens and by-passed the thermostat for max cooling... if this puppy is not opening then that could account for your cooling quandry! Easy to replace (has a spring and diaphram) and it's located low on engine on stbd side if memory serves me correctly (doesn't happen frequently these days). Another candidate is the impeller as mentioned above and also the impeller (pump) housing which can get deformed if too hot!.. Happy Whalin... Clark.. SCN
