Pressure Relief Valve

A pressure relief valve is used to control water
flow and operating temperature at higher speeds
(above approximately 2500 RPM / 21 PSI). The
pressure relief valve opens as water pressure
increases. Spring tension sets the opening pres-
sure.
Overheating: A restricted or faulty valve typically
results in HIGH SPEED overheating.

Thermostats

Thermostats control water flow and operating tem-
perature at lower speeds (below 2500 RPM).
Overheating: A restricted or faulty thermostat typ-
ically results in LOW SPEED overheating.
Overcooling: Debris may prevent the thermostat
from closing completely.

Block Venting

A fitting and hose from the top of the block allows
the constant movement of water and/or air from
the block. Circulated water flows through the EMM

overboard indicator.
