Curious if someone knows what the riser temp should be on a 5.0 OMC Ford engine. The water temp guage shows around 160 but the risers feel hot. I haven't shot it with an IR temp gun but it is hot to the touch. I can hold my hand on them for a little while. Probably running around 125 degrees.

125 degrees is actually pretty cool. Shoot them with an IR gun though to make sure.
