Sea Pump?
At what point should the stock sea pump be upgraded? I'm around 525-550 hp and when I run my engine at WOT it will heat up to 170-180. I'm using a crossover and have drilled the themostat which helped but I still don't like the temp climbing like it does. Would running a 2 stage pump like the Eickerts help or is it a waste of money?

Another thing could be pieces of old impeller stuck in the oil cooler, or a issue with the supply TO the pump, as in a collapsed hose, etc.

Strange, mine is reverse, I drilled 2 holes in a 160deg therm with the crossover and bypass. Normally runs 150 on plane and 170 idle. Stock pump should flow plenty of water.
Have you checked the water pressure?
