@chpalmer:

If it is really running that hot you will burn your finger if you were to touch the heatsink.. Might help to tell you if its an accurate reading or not.

Check it with a meat thermometer.

Only time mine got that hot was using offloading.

A good rule of thumb (no pun intended) I learned when working on outboard motors is that 140F (~60C) should be hot enough to hold your finger on the powerhead block (or heatsink in this case) for a few seconds before it becomes uncomfortable.
