Is normal operating temperature on the 8 is at the water temp logo.?

When fully warmed up , the needle of the water temp gauge should be right at or below a bit under that water temp logo to the left right?


What is the usual operating temp when warmed up 180*F-225*F?

 

Yes on the gauge - should be pointing at the water on the gauge.

 

Mine is a little bit below. At the water temp picture on the gauge.

 

I drive a 9 but mine's about 1/16 to 1/8 below the 1/2 mark. Manual states that it runs at 176F (80C).

 

Great!!!
