I Purchased the 31 Bhm that was for sale on here with the 225 john deere. No complaints with the boat, in fact i love it. The only issue is the engine seems to run a little hotter then normal when I'm going against a strong tide. the engine will sometimes hit slightly over 200 degrees.
I called Cat and they said its not uncommon for the engines to get that hot during the summer months.
The boat has a Twin disc 507 2.5 gear, 28-26 prop.
Another thing i did notice is I'm falling short of the 2600-2650 rpm range and on the pin I'm hitting 2500. My ?? is do you think because the engine is slightly overloaded, that that will cause the temperature to run up like that. It stays around 195 when there's no drag. Any recommendations suggestions?
