Hi fellas im really new around here ive made one post before about my boat.
The problem i am having is when i run the engine for a very short time like 2 mins it seems to be very hot.Questions that i have are
1:Can the water bypass thermo stats if they are not opening?(pulled them out put in boiling water and opened fine??)
2:My old 83 200hp cross flow previous engine i had on it which this one replaced the temp sensors it had were the little brass ones that screwed into both heads this engine has them but also has different things that screw into the head which i think are the sensors on this engine but need you guys to help me out?i plug brown wire into my wire coming from dash (also it is the wire that used to plug into my earlier engine)The temp guage when i start it the guage goes up a little bit then jumps straight up like in the video.
which is the correct sensor??
heres a vid of what is happening and also with about another minute of running its hard to hold your hand on the block seems to hot to me for that amount of time?
Heres the video link that pic link doesnt seem to wrk

Also in the video do you think that the water takes to long to start pumping properly?The guy i bought it off just replaced waterpump in it before i bought it(showed me receipt).
I havent drove the boat yet because of the worry of cooking it it seems to idle perfect and rev but i just think it seems to be very hot to quick.I just cant see how it can get that hot so quick maybe timming way advanced or something i dunno?? id just like some opinions.The vro has been dissconnected but thats a whole other stroy im not sure if its been done correctly if i dont plug my temp wire in i get a intermintent(spelling lol) beep i think this means fuel flow??not sure i shouldve just rebuilt the ol 200 do you think all the wireing from my old controls will be ok to use they all seem to plug in the same.
can someone please tell me what this valve is?
ill just add these other photos and see if anything pops out to you experts
This is the boat shes on!!
