Normally, it should be stable around 60-70℃ at
idling speed after the warm up period and 110-
120℃ at maximum speed.
Therefore the normal range of the engine
temperature is approximately 60℃-120℃. (from
idle speed to maximum speed, except for the
initial cold start and during the warm up period)
Note: Regarding this temperature range, there is
minimal difference between each engine model.

I forgot to say that this was cut and pasted from a Honda Marine service bulletin and only relates to Honda motors

My Mercury 150 four stroke runs at about 55/57C 4000rpm. My two bobs worth.

You want to try putting a thermostat in the old Merc
