. I have a boat with 2 clean running 2000 Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi's with SM/DP drives. Bought with 800hrs. When I purchased the boat I stripped motor's I did
-caps, rotors, plugs
-Raw water pumps, engine water pumps, belts, and hoses
-thermostats, housings, senders
-manifolds, risers
-filters and fluids
Motors run great, raw water cooled "salt". Port motor runs cold. It has gotten worse over the last 100 hours now won't get over 110 degrees. Changed and checked thermostat it was good but replaced anyway with no change.
No issues but running to Catalina next month.
I want to know if anyone else has has this problem or can offer a solution?
Thanks Newport Dave
