I have a 1989 Sea Ray DA220 with the Mercruiser 350 5.7 liter Alpha 1 engine. The engine seams to overheat during idling. I've replaced the impeller, and changed the thermostat. When I increase speed from idle the engine cools down to 145 / 150 and runs fine. When at idle the engine temp eventually goes up to 220. It doesn't seem like the engine is really that hot but am worried if it is I could damage the engine. Water pours from the foot as it should so I'm not sure what to do from here. Has anyone experienced this? I'm open to any suggestions going forward.
Thanks in Advance!
