Most of the time It tells you you have a problem long before the temp goes to 250
every boat i have owned had them or i put em in
first defence against overheating

Yep,
I sucked up a bunch of Sea grass that was floating in the Barge Canal yesterday. Going in reverse in a jet boat doesn't clear it out.
Had to jump into the water, dive under the boat and I pulled 2-3 Hands full of seagrass out of the jet intake grate!
Jumped back in, started her up and off I went.

Last year I sucked a plastic bag in through the low water pickup. Temp. Skyrocketed so I shut it down and checked the sea-strainer. It was clear but I still wasn't pumping any water. I had to get towed in and when we pulled the boat out of the water there was a 1" piece of bag sticking out. I ended up pulling a whole plastic grocery bag out of the pickup
After that episode I installed a water pressure gauge.

Unfortunatley, I was in a Manatee zone!
