Default What temp does your 496 HO run at?

Hello,

As the title states I am looking for some info on what the water temp gauge should read for the 496 HO. I previously had a Baja 275 and the guage read 180 pretty consistently and I never had an issue. I've recently traded it in for a cobalt 343 and the guage seems to bounce around a bit. It will hover around 165, after running for a while and then coming off plane I can see it bounce up to 175-180. Is this normal? It seems a bit on the hot side to me but there have been no alarms or noticeable issues. Water pumps in the cobalt replaced 2 years ago by previous owner.

Feedback is appreciated!

My 2002 496 HO closed cooling runs 160, but after WOT and back off plane at idle may touch 170. even with river water now low 80*'s and air temps in the low 90*'s
