99 Johnson ocean pro 130 temp.????

[outrigger]

At idle she runs at about 155 to 160 ..<br /> When you give it a little gas she drops quickly to about 125 to 130. I was looking at other posts and was wondering if this was to hot for this motor. I have been on the water only about 6 times with this 130. I purchased it used and was told the water pump was about a year old.. Should i replace the impellor if so is this something i could do?<br /><br /> One last question at WOT the RPM's are at 5500.<br /> Is this about right for Boat and prop pitch??<br /><br /> Thanks in advance.. James

when in doubt it wouldnt hurt to replace water pump,t-stats & lower unit lube.<br />-<br />book says 130hp is rated @ 5500 rpm.<br />full throttle operating range is from 5000 to 6000.

My 95' 200 Ocean Runner would idle at 140-145, as soon as hit the gas, drop below 120. Fouled plugs, bad gas mileage, wouldn't idle for long, hard to re-start.<br /><br />I replaced the thermostats and blow off valve, now it idles at 150, and 155 at WOT. Runs great now. Cost me like $55.00 in parts, very easy to replace yourself.
