Well memorial day i started up the boat let it warm up a little, and then she started smoking alot more then usual so i lifted the box and checked everything out, motor ran silent, all the hoses that should be cold were cold. so we kept going. later on the way back the tempature guage jump way up to 220 then back down to 130 and it just kept doing this. later that night i tested the thermostat and it was sticking so i already ordered the new one. i dropped the boat in today without the thermostat to check things out, and board, and everything ran great except it still smoked, and the tempature guage was bouncing all around, checked everything again, hoses, oil, i put my hand on the manifold and it felt fine, and water was coming out the exhaust. so i dont know what the problem is and thats why i posted. sorry for the long post but i think every detail is closer to figuring out whats wrong. thanks
