Re: QD19 running a little hot?

[beerman57]

The powerhead and exhaust water don’t get hot, the shift handle and upper midsection do. The shift handle cools down after running up on plane, but the mid boils the water that splashes on it when it comes down off plane. You know, after looking at everything yesterday I realized that ALL the cooling water goes right out "telltail" hole on the mid, NONE of it cools the exhaust after after it leaves the P/H. And by the way, the exhaust cover isn’t discolored. To H with this thing, I don’t care if the shift handle gets hot at idle or if the mid is discolored, it runs too good for me to keep wasting so much time on it!!!!!!
