[QUOTE="KRS62, post: 194901, member: 3704"] It was suggested to me that at a water pressure gauge is better than the water temp. The water temp has a lag to it. When it's reading hot....it could be too late. The water pressure gauge is instant. I am not sure if all motors have this connection, but my 50hp Merc does. I plan to tackle this before gator season this summer. There were MANY times where I had to stop and unclog the hole. Make sure you always keep something in the boat to clear out the hole. For the longest time, I used a little steel "wire" with the loop on it that hung on a convenient spot on my boat. I have found though that my weed whacker line is a nice tool for this. Cheap too! I have two ~3ft pieces of this in the boat. One is a backup. KRS [/QUOTE]
