When is the last time you had the impeller replaced? Even though you see water streaming through the motor....your impeller may be old and dry rotted and even be worn down and not pumping enough water.

Have you ever had the motor running shallow water that may have allowed the water intakes to have sucked up a bunch of muck and dirt to the point of potentially clogging some of the coolant passages and maybe even have some gunk stuck in the thermostates themselves preventing them from opening and closing properly?

Or...the oil pickup/sending unit may be going out.

Motors are too expensive to risk by continuing to run it. Get it checked out.

There's a lot of very knowledgeable people here on this board that may offer more assistance as well. Which...I'm sure they'll chime in once they see this thread.
