temp problems

[jessie01]

I have a 225 pro max 97.When i get it up on the step at about 4200 and over the buzzer comes on,I slow down for just a few and it goes off then it will do it again when i get up.new water pump doesnt have any thermostat.the water coming out the pee hole is hot when the buzzer comes on.the motor has a cone lower unit.

Can anyone give me a idea on what to look for?

first thing you need too do is go buy a temp guage.this way you know where the motor is at, at all times. the pisser should never be hot but warm.did you put a new housing and impeller for water pump? could be a poopet valve. ive seen seaweed get caught up in the lower unit and start to restict the water flow.

Why did you take the t-stats out ? It is probably your problem right there. Put some back in and try it .

I do have a temp gauge it reads fine but water is hot.i will check the vavles..

The powerhead on this motor burned twice(warranty) when i got it back it ran fine for 11/2 years . I got it back form my dealer it had no t-stats in it.will try put some in..

You may be moving the water through the block too fast. If you don't have thermostats handy, try slowing the water moving through the block with a 5/16" washer in place of the thermostat.
