Hey everyone! So over the off season we had tons of work done, new interior, stereo, motor got pulled, new jet, new transom, new msd ignition system to replace Mallory, motor went back in no upgrades just pulled out serviced put back in, after working out few kinks boats running great but last trip at havasu motor temp would jump 20 degrees almost immediately after pulling into no wake zone after a 20 min cruise at like 45 mph not floored it by any means... even before all the work, gauge always has motor running at 135-140 which I thought is cool so at the no wake zone it jumped to 160 immediately so I opened the hatch and it seemed to cool back off, should I b concerned it runs so cool? Maybe faulty gauge? I am having issues with other gauges, speedo n tach went out last trip, speedo always been temperamental and I had em replace the speedo mechanism on the transom still nothing... thanks for all your help guys! I'll post pics of all the upgrades later today!

Totally normal. The water flow is coming from your jet pump so the water flow is slowing down dramatically​ when you come off plane. A 20° jump is totally normal and nothing to be alarmed about.

A slightly higher idle speed can help, too. My heavy azz 21'er idles ~950-1000 rpm.
Helps around the docks, too
