Solved...unbelievable

Response to Install the new impeller, see what happens
Put the RW pump w/ a new impeller in this morning. Temperature went high again...dammit! I went back to the idling engine to check for water coming out of the top of the t-stat housing, and there was some, then none, then some. The t-stat is opening and closing and there is plenty of water behind it. Went back to the helm and caught the temp guage coming down from 205 or so, stopped at 195 and started going back up. I know the t-stat is opening at 160 because I checked it in a pot of water with a thermometer. Hmmmmmm. Shut her down and swithced sending units from the other engine. Start up and still hot! No way, I thought to myself as I move the sending wire from the port guage to starboard. Start her up again and cool as a cucumber....160!! Sure enough, bad temp guage and it's less than 5 years old and stays dry. If it were not for twin engines, I would be pulling manifolds and risers this afternoon.

Freakin' boats!

Thanks for all you advice!
