Another thing is I was letting if idle for a few minutes and got a warning beep with a message saying thermostat needs serviced. However it idles between 125-129 degrees which seems normal to me.

That is an average of both temp sensors. Bet one of them is stuck open a little
Thank You Leon Pugh
Since it will give higher priority to a "hot" bank, you can actually have a thermostat fault due to a sticking-open PORT thermostat, and be HOT on the Starboard side (even potentially overheating).

The under temp issue progressively got worse so I pulled the thermostats and found the issue. Tested the thermostats, put it all back together and it gets up to temp fine now.

LOL, not sure how that happened. I ran my old motor in far dirtier water than I have this one so far and I never had that problem with it. I guess the Torque master lower picks up debris easier.Originally Posted by EuropeanAM

Make sure you check the strainer as well.
