Scarab 195 Engine Temp

[gjj1212]

I have a Scarab 195ID with the 200hp engine, my temp seems to be in the 200-218 range WOT, is this normal or is it running too hot, me dealer said it’s fine but i don’t know if there telling me the truth, it went if for a new head gasket after a coolant line broke and I never payed attention to what it was prior to the repair

I had the same concern and tried to figure it out myself - I have the exact same boat, a 2019 - I ran it this weekend checking the temp throughout cruising and water sports. It heats up really quickly, from 98 to 190, but never went over 192. Given, I'm up in Canada with some cooler water and outdoor temps, but still seems high. I recently topped up the prestone to the 'max' line - not sure if that's helped or not.... let me know
