Hey guys this is my first post. I have a 2014 225 pro xs and I believe I’m having some possible t- stat issues. I bought this boat from a reputable dealer and the first time I take boat out on water I get a 4 beep alarm at idle. I noticed a drop in water pressure and my operating temp on smart craft gauge was running low like 78 deg. So I idled back to the ramp. About 10 min after idling back the water pressure built back up and the temp went back up to operating temps. Took boat back to dealer they said there was debris in port side t- stat. All good to go. I get boat back take it out and I make three runs and on my next one when I started boat same thing. Water pressure dropped and temp. So I idled back to ramp. Once again after a long idle water pressure went up as well as temps. I thinking t stat is stuck open and then it finally closed. I take the boat back again to dealer. They said they pulled both t stats and flushed system and put me t sats in. I don’t think they did as the only wrench marks on bolts are on port side. I know that smart craft gauge only reads port side temp or so I believe that’s correct. The starboard side had no wrench marks at all. So I once again get boat back. Still this time no wrench marks on starboard side t stats. Which believes me that it’s never been pulled out. So I take the boat out. It does fine all day until I go to load boat up. I dock and turn off engine. Go get trailer and fire boat back up. I notice water pressure is running low and temp falls to 78. 5 min later pressure back up and temp to normal. So I get home and I pull both t stats. They are both clean of debris. I can tell that the starboard side has not been replaced. So after I put all back together I run boat on muffs operates as it should. I ran it for prob 5-10 min. I turned it off and let it sit for 5 min. When I turned it back on the temp and water pressure fell. 5 min of idling water pressure went back to normal and temp went to operating temp with stats opening and closing as should. So what I’m seeing is naturally after running motor and turning off heat soak happens. If the motor is above 130 deg and I start it the t stat seems to be stuck open. If it’s lower like 128 deg and I start it it operates as it should. So I’m thinking that the starboard t stat is weak. Should I be looking at something else
