Hopefully this question isn't too stupid, but I'm worried about my 35hp Evinrude, it runs fine but the water being peed out gets very hot. Is this okay? I realize the water is cooling the engine and gets warm, but should it be very hot to the touch? The power head doesn't seem to be hotter than normal. Would a new thermostat fix the problem? Just worried that it may overheat.
