I have a 1993 60 hp Evenrude. I get an alarm at high RPM and my motor automatically slows. The alarm clears quickly, in a minute or so. When I try to increase RPMs after the alarm clears, the motor shakes fairly violently like perhaps like it is missing badly. When I shutoff the engine and restart it, it operates fine at medium speed but the high temperature alarm occurs when I go to high speed.

The telltale cooling water spray is only slightly warm, not hot. The engine block is not very hot. I tested the temperature switch and it closes at about 200 degrees. The thermostat has been replaced.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
