Mercury Outboard 150 Overheating

[Keithh41]

Motor keeps over heating, at 4000 rpm's temp hits 180 and goes into limp mode. Go to neutral and resets operates fine till it gets up to 4000. Replace water pump, thermostat, and temp sensor, still overheating. Any ideas would be most appreciated

Blown head gaskets cause overheating.

Blown head gaskets cause overheating.

Would blown head gasket effect motor running

Sorry----I guess it is silly to think a head gasket might cause this issue of overheating.
