welcome to iboats!!!

the "pee hole" or "tell tail", or what ever you want to call it, is just an indicator that your water pump is pumping water.

you should be able to lay your hand on the head, while it is running and warmed up, for a couple of seconds before it starts to burn you.

if you have peeling or blistered paint on your eng that is a sure sign of overheating at some point...... usually starts around the head gasket area.

Check the thermostat and cooling passages, just because the water is pumping doesn't mean the water is getting to where it needs to go.
