      August 5, 2017 at 1:39 pm I have twin 6bta 315 hp my port motor is fine till I put a real load on it 2000 rpm and heats up to 200 degrees. When I slow down it drops fairly quickly. I have a new seaboard water pump, went through raw water side cleaned heat exchanger. What else should I look for. Thanks
