Just got a new boat. It has a new merc 502 mpi. Can anybody tell me what temp the engine should run at?

Just like any other marine engine. If raw water cooled, under load on the water you should see in the 165?-170? range.

From your profile, I see your boat's name is "anger mgmt"... Should have named it "anchor mgmt"

Nice looking boat!
