    water temp 4.3 gen2 alpha 1

    Fishing this morning I found a sand bar that stopped boat completely. Got the boat off and fired up then noticed temp was running up tp 175 then back of to 155. Kept doing this the rest of the morning.Used to run a steady 160 before. Any Ideas why? Sand in the thermostat maybe? 4.3 gen 2 alpha 1
