2 stroke 15hp 2002 merc.. I already changed impeller...seems to spit out of the pee hole til I get going then streams out... There is steam coming from the water and is very hot to the touch so I checked the water temp on the way out and it is a little over 160 degrees.. I am use to larger motors that dont run nearly this hot.. Is this normal for a 15hp?
Thanks
