The engine would heat up more under load--that is with the prop engaged, and the engine at the RPM for "cruise". This is why it is always recommended when running the engine for maintenance purposes, that it be in gear to put a load on it. How much know--we don't know. Perhaps an IR thermometer on the cylinders or heads would help answer the question... _________________ Bob Austin

Any boat with a thru hull, should be carrying tapered plugs. Not a bad idea to carry some small pieces of wood on any boat--can be useful in many ways. |
Thank you! Common sense is becoming more & more un common. |
