2001 4.3GL Issues

Hello, I have a 2001 Larson 19ft bowrider with a VP 4.3GL with SX Drive. I have 2 issues with the engine. First, the only time the temp comes up to operating levels is during idling, when on plane, the temp guage drops right down. I think it's a thermostat problem, what would the stock temp rating on the thermostat be??
Second issue is the carb, when I accelerate to get up on plane, it bogs. There was supposedly a carb kit put in last year but I'm not positive as to whether or not it was done. My thinking is the accelerator pump diaphragm.
Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Re: 4.3GL Issues

The carb was rebuilt and now it runs like new. I still would like to know about the correct operating temperature when cruising and what would the stock thermostat temp rating be. Thanks.
