Keep in mind what type of sensor you have reading the temperature on the engine. Some sensors are reading actual water temperature, but some are reading the temperaure of water jacket (engine block). If you are reading the jacket temp, it will have higher temps on the gage maybe 20 degress more give or take. I have a 1988 merc and I had to replace the sensor and wire running to the gage. The old sensor was rusted/corroded so badly in the hole, it was giving false high temps.
