Re: whats to hot

I read this question with interest... I dont mean to hijack the question.
but does the 140-160 is that the operating temp or if it gets to 140 its too hot?? I have a 30 Johnson with no alarm was going to check with a thermometer.......
Also.... forgive me for the stupidity but is that 140-160f or centigrade.. ( being from the UK ... now living in Fl... and used to using degrees centigrade I was wondering)

140 to 160 degrees f is your normal operating temperature.
