I have posted several threads about the engine running cold, I replaced thermostats, sender, checked the guages. At this point I hooked up two guages another guage to the sender it read the same thing, basically below or at 100.
This morning I ran warmer water through the muffs thinking the cold water was too cold to make the guage move and still I could not get a reading on the guage while the engine was running however when I shut the engine off and put the key on accessory, it read about 130 degrees and slowly worked down. Also while the engine was running I kept my hand on the T-Housing and it was hot, could keep my hand on it but it was hot, I am sure it was above 130. I really think the guage/sender is working properly.
Is there any way that I am not getting enough water to the T-Housing to make the sender read? Could it have something to do with the water pump or impelller? The guy who owned the boat previous said he replaced the water pump, could he have installed something incorrect??
This morning I also took of the thermostat housing to see if anything was blogging any of the passages however I did not see anything.
Any suggestions on what to look for, how much water should be coming out the large houses on the T-Housing? I squezzed them and I did not really feel anything.
