My XR6 normally runs 0 psi at idle, 12 psi at 4K and no more than 15 or so at 6K. It is a modified 2.5 Liter motor. Today while my brother was driving we hit a log. When I got back in the seat I noticed that my Pressure was 15psi at 3K and pegging over 30 if I gave it much more. EGT's were normal and Temp gauge was fine too I believe. I am thinking that something has stuck the popit valve closed. I bought some new gaskets and will inspect soon. Just wondering what else it could be. I am unsure if the hitting something had anything to do with it or not. No signs of wood in the pick ups or any damage to boat bottom. Lower unit is a sportmaster. Thanks for any advice. Motor was running great before and after, I just am uneasy about the change. Gauge zeros at idle as well ??????
