Have you cleaned the heat exchanger, check the impeller, cleaned the thruhull, cleaned the strainer? One important item is to see the flow of water out of the back. I found that my exhaust hose was collapsing at higher RPM's. Because of age, it had become soft and was restricting the flow and creating back pressure. I replaced it and no more overheating. Another problem could be a combination of larger alternator and engine driven refrigeration plus the two water pumps plus motoring. Asking a lot out of the engine.
