87 15hp Peeing Hot?

[imported_Warren]

I have an 87 15hp evinrude. I already replaced the Water Pump, thermostat, fuel pump etc. I'm not sure if its running hot but I need to know how much hotter the water coming out of the Tell-Tale is normal. It seems to be quite a bit warmer than the lake water. Its peeing like a champion but I really need to make sure its running perfect....Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.....Warren

As long as you can hold your hand in the water comfortably it will be fine.<br /><br />TMD
