    Navigation light bars

    200 Ocean Pro

    When just trolling along, seems like the motor has LOTS of steam? no overheat Out in the rain, (in a hail storm no less) it was really STEAMING good. Have never seen an OB do that before. Even in no rain situation it does have a decent steam trail Anybody else? Perhaps I am just paranoid.
