HI,
I have a 1980 26 FT. HOURSTON GLASCRAFT with an AQ 260 engine
and a VOLVO 280 DUO PROP with a closed cooling system.
It runs perfect but I think the temp might be a little high
It runs at a steady 180 degrees.
Should I change to a 165 degree and is it OK to use an automotive stat
THANKS IN ADVANCE
Cheers.

That is fine for closed cooling.
