I build allot of dry stacking systems for 280's, they can have issues with heat as well as cold water temps. 45 psi ( if your gauge is accurate ) is WAY to high, the only way you can create that kind of pressure is the spent water that should be leaving the block after heat exchange is being restricted.
You will need to pull the power head and put the dump holes back to "normal" size ( approx 3/8" ) or the motor when running in summertime heated lake water can fail...
Good luck,
Jay
