500 Efi What Is Too Hot

Lost A Hose On The Sea Pump At High Speed.computer
Shut Down The Motor. I Replaced The Sea Pump Kit
And Motor Seems To Run Fine. Sometimes It Feels A Little Down On Power. But Its Hot Out.
It Got To 240 Ish On The Gauge. What Temp Does The Computer Shut The Motor Down? Should I Be Worried About Head Gaskets?

Sounds like you got away with it, I think the computer goes into limp mode in the 200-210 range.

If you are concerned, a compression test and a leakdown test will give you a good idea of the motors health. Assuming that there is no water in the oil.

It would be a good idea to get some fresh oil in it as soon as possible
