Temperature Levels

Ok...here we go again.

I finally got my boat back, but it still has issues

It's still getting TOO HOT !!!

What temperature would be considered dangerously HOT??? I'm so freakin GREEN to this boat stuff...

My temperature guage takes readings from 0 - 240. If I run the boat at 2200 RPMs or more, for about 7-8 minutes....she almost gets pinned at 240 degrees. I then have to slow it down to about 900 RPMs in order to get the temperature back down to around 180. It really sucks having to slow down to turtle speed every 10 minutes for 10 minutes.

So what do you think? What's the healthy normal temperature for an I/O OMC with a 350 engine????


...hot or not, I won't be stopped

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
