Port engine 'alarmed' and went into safety mode the other trip while cruising at 3250. I saw the temp gauge spike hot when this happened. Slow cruise back at 1500 temp ok. no more spike.
Serviced new impellers went in. Strainers checked and intake pick up appears clear.
Went fishing, port ran warmer about 200/205 peak after running for a while on temp gauge. Noticed new white steam or smoke from same port exhaust.
I would say it was steam not smoke, this is recent,historically these engines do not steam or smoke white. I had another alarm today but brief at low RPM and cruised back at 3250 after the temp dropped back down. The temp did not spike this time but normally these engines run under 200.

What is most likely going on here...? Im not very mechanical....but higher temp, alarm, white steam...?
Thanks.
