BS said this is normal for them?? That you will foul plugs if you no run T stats??
Well it scares the crap out of me so I took the T stats out for the summer,(water temp mid 60's) I will reinstall for the colder months, But motor still smokes and runs warm now not hot, and I have no temp gauge so not sure were its at. But plugs are good and motor runs great all the time, i just let it run a bit before I take off.

My Mercury telltale is very hot also but today I bought a IR thermometer, ran it around the lake a few times at 4600 rpm stopped the boat put it in neutral popped the cover open and the head temperature was 148.2 and 147.9. I'll tell you I put new T Stats Saturday and it idles better than before, real smooth........
