    Not sure what the temp should be for that switch either. I’m guessing it may be a little higher than 160 F. Maybe closer to 180 – 185 F. Still cool enough that it shouldn’t damage anything at that temp. My ’59 Fastwin runs at about 170 – 175 F at the cylinder head according to my infrared thermometer. That engine has a thermostat. I believe the Ski Twin 33 does as well. It does seem to run a little cooler than that WOT on the boat. I have no idea what temp the built in overheat alarms are supposed to go off.
