28ft twin 5.7 LX Alpha 1 Gen 2

28ft twin 5.7 LX Alpha 1 Gen 2 ---- both motors start to overheat at about the same time and it only happens when ran above 3300 RPMs..
then after it happens the first time the temp gauges starts to bounce sometimes down to 0.. if you shut it off and let it cool down completely the gauges work fine again until it overheats again..

Pull the water inlet hose off

Pull the water inlet hose off from the inside and try to feel it or try to push a smaller diameter hose thru it. Raise the OD and see if you can remove the hose and see thru it w/flashlight or try the smaller hose; may be 1/2".

It would be great to have access to a scope/snake type camera!
