What temp does your newer 3.0 run?

[maxxpower]

I have a 2004 3.0 liter mercruiser in a Bayliner 175. My temp gauge says 175 when she's warm. I would like to know what others with the same engine are running. My manual says it has a 160 thermostat, I know it will run a bit hotter. Just curious, Thanks

Although I have an older boat, my engine is a brand spanking new GM 3.0. Mine runs between 160 & 175 so that seems about normal to me. I'm certainly no expert so take that for what it's worth.

Thanks Trentmh, I hope that new engine serves you well!
