[> Are you sure that your water pump is pumping correctly? Do you have two exhausts & is water pumping from both exhausts? What does your temperature gauge register? I had problems a few years ago, my temp pegged, & it was the water pump...other than that, I have no clue!!

Check your exhaust manifolds and other exhaust water passages.Elbows cause excess build ups also

If it is only on side then this probably won't help, but mine had overheating problems on one engine. Turned out to be hull intake was reversed on one side (slots to the back). Also the water pump blades (rubber flaps) break constantly and can plug up various places.
