"Hey all. New to the site and hoping to get some advice on my boat.
I have a 98 Nordic sprint with a 454/ bravo 1 combo. I'm having a cooling issue. I changed the Impeller and put in all new autometer guages last summer. Used the boat 1 time. It is running just under 210. Never hotter. but I know that is way too hot. I just back flushed the cooler that is behind the Power steering pump, and just pulled the thermostat out. I boiled the thermostat and it started to open at 160 but was all the way opened at 190. Is that too long?
I'm also wondering if the guage is giving me the wrong reading. The new guages are Autometer but the sending unit is the original from Nordic. Could they read different?
Thanks for all the help. I'm just trying to cover everything before I put it back together.
