I have a 2 horsepower 4 stroke Honda on my dink, I think it is 2007. It is air cooled, one of the reasons I bought it. After it has run for a while, the mounting bracket becomes very hot. Almost too hot to touch. I know the exhaust is channeled out through the shaft to vent underwater for noise reduction. I suppose the heat is
radiating from there, just wondering if that is normal. :confused:

Re: Should it be this hot!

This engine originally came with a water cooled exhaust stool years ago.Honda decided to do away with that and went with entirely air cooled.Works well but that exhaust housing will get a little hot.
