Water Preesure HELP!
Ive recenty went from -2 imco to -3 and have experienced high water pressure. When im running say under 80 its fine, around 20-25 psi but once I get over 100 its like 35+. Im worried i might push a head gasket to far. Ive heard of adding dumps but im not sure how. any info is appreciated.
Thanks

You need pressure relief valves added. I put mine in after the sea pump but before all the coolers.
Eddie Marine sells them:

Do not think there is a kit. Just purchase the relief valve, plumb it in the hose coming out of the engine water pump, then run dump line out side or back of boat. I used the relief valves made by merc., a little expensive, but way cheeper than replacing a head gasket.
Make sure that winter layup includes draining the dump line at the relief valve.

Mine are right before the circ. pump. Using teh Merc valves. Those things are worth their weight in gold. And priced so too!
