I recently installed a merc monitor and on my first trip to the lake I became concerned with the coolant temperature reading. I let the engine warm up to 120 degrees before slowly taking off, shortly after I got on plane the temperature dropped rapidly down to approximately 75 degrees. Seemed like a severe temperature drop to me and I wanted to know the expected normal operating temp range. When I slow back to idle the temp will raise up to about a max of 140 degrees and drop quickly again anytime I get on plane.....not sure if i should be concerned or not.
Thanks in advance!
