Kamd44 running temp

[derekh]

Hello.
I have a pair of kamd44 vp's in an Antares 1080. The guages for the temp show 85-90' when running st 3000 rpm the temp stays constant but I notice steam at the stern. Is this normal ? Many thanks,
Derek

Sounds perfectly OK to me.
Would post this on the MoBo forum, a good number of folks over there have these engines in their boats.
