OK..I will contribute here...
I have the same motor. I have also had overheating problems, UNTIL I DITCHED THE MUFFS, and started running it in a tank.
Seriously. I think the muffs introduce air into the incoming water stream, and makes air bubbles in the top of the block.

I live in FL also, and I have heard just take the thermos out...but I don't agree. I run mine with the thermos.

Pitbull...
Sorry, I have been on vacation...
Here it is...mine only overheated when on the muffs.
As I said....you gotta run it in a tank to simulate it being in the lake/river the best.
I am sure I was getting air in the cooling system from the muffs. It would cause your symptoms.
