Optimax overheat problem??

[Bosco122]

I have a 2005 Opi 2005. I had the impeller changed this spring. I've ran in some trashy water this year and have had to pull my stats 2x for cleaning. I eventually put in new ones in April. I've never looked at the poppet yet. Now smartctaft temp reads 130-132 at idle.

Today, while idleing in a no wake zone for approx 5 minutes, the SC1000 Smartcraft alarm beeps once and flashed the engine symbol. I've seen this before when I had T-stats stuck open. But the engine temp is showing a constant 134 degrees. Water temp is 82. My water pressure was only around 2.8-3.0 at the time. I was also pulling a tube very slow at the time. Now am I overheating? Thanks for any help you can give.............

The "Engine Symbol" indicates that a PCM fault occurred.... essentially a "check engine" alarm.

Computer Diagnostic Printouts required to determine the CAUSE of the alarm.

An overheat alarm would have been combined with a TEMP symbol.

A Thermostat Fault (sticking open thermostat) is one of DOZENS of possible causes.

Mine will do the same thing if Im at a idle for a long period of time as well. Shows same symbol, I tap the gas and it goes off immediately. New impellor, plugs etc.
