DF70 overheating at higher RPM
Hi!
I have a 2007 Suzuki DF70 which overheats. It will overheat at 2000RPM (and upwards) when been running for 3-4 minutes since startup. When the problem occurs i can clearly see the water from the tell tale going from about 2 meters (6ft) long to only 30cm (1ft) in just a matter of seconds. After that the water will stop coming out and i'll get a temp alarm.
The boat does not overheat when using flush muffs in the garden, nor when running idle in the lake. Actually when engine has been overheated, i can just start the engine after some minutes and the tell tale slowly comes back in full strength if i just run at idle. When i go forwards the tell tale is reduced to about 30%.
I have changed the impeller, checked the thermostat in a cooking pan and also been cleaning the cooling channels in the engine block with compressed air as good as i could. There were quite much salt debris just under the thermostat house. Any ideas?
