Yamaha sx230 overheating. The engine goes into limp mode (6500 rpm or less). Is this a bad temp sensor in the exhaust? Has great water flow.

Are you sure it has great flow? Are you getting water out of both pee holes?

Yea and they both feel the same temp. I can turn the "hot" engine off and back on and the light goes off and will run fine for 5 minutes or so. Then does it again

There is a water inlet inside the impeller tunnel, shine a flashlight in there and make sure that it's clear of debris
