    4.3 over heating at low rpm Help

    The exhaust would read higher and that can be ok. To find out if your motor IS actually overheating is to measure the thermostat housing and compare the IR reading with the boat gauge. If they read close to the saame then there is a overheat, if not then might be a gauge issue

    Engine backfires around 2500 rpm
