temp. for 1992 Mariner 150 Magnum II

[avian22]

Haven't had a problem. Just seems really Hot.

Under 3000. . . No problem! When I "Put it Down" temp. goes up to like 190-200 and stays there (doesn't over heat). Just wondering. . . Is that normal? Used it several times and hasn't created any problems.

Been told that "the higher the rpm's, the lower the temp. because there's more water pumping through". And I've also been told that "the higher the rpm's, the higher the temp. because the pistons are working more" (this makes more sense, but I'm not a mechanic. . . YET!)


Thanks
