Cool 2001 Eliminator 36 TEMP problem....????

Recently purchased this boat and it overheats at high speed. Water temp rises way high when I am over 80 MPH on passenger side. Can anyone tell me if the drives have to be parallel to each other or do they have to have ( tow in or tow out ) Pressure drops on each motor depending on what side I turn. Checked lines for obstructions and all sensors with Rinda diagnostic program and found nothing so I figured maybe drive alignment to boat>? Any suggestions would be very appreciated...

Do you have thru-hull water pickups with strainers on this boat?

No there are not Thru-hull water pickups on this boat. Only pick-ups are the low water pick-ups from the XR drives.

not sure you need them but both of my Eliminator's have had thru hull pick ups. Drives are parallel when turning in and toed in 1/4 when turning out.

Do you have stock Mercury drive or Imco shorties? It just might be that your water pump impellors need to be replaced. I do mine every other year.

The drives have IMCO boxes but not the shorties Bit I know that the actual centerline of the prop shaft is about inch and a half higher then the bottom of the boat. I have measured it and wonder if there all in the same position. Both water pump impellors where replaced before it went in the water this year. Ptufaro could you send me a pic of your drive setup? I would like to se where the pick-ups are positioned.

Put through hull pick-ups on it and you will eliminate any water temp and pressure issues...
