Hello Guys,

I have a 1998 Evinrude FICHT that I started up yesterday on the trailer with the ears on the motor. I ran the motor for about 5 minutes and the water temp gauge
gradually got to around 200 degrees. There was plenty of water pumping out through the hole.

I looked in the service manual and could not locate the operating temp for the motor. Could somebody let me know the temp?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Chris
