[Public-List] FWC engine temp

[Andrew Johns via Public-List]

160 would be typical for a raw water cooled engine, because at higher
temperatures salt would precipitate out of the cooling water.  For a fresh
water cooled engine 175-185 would be good depending on the coolant
concentration and cooling system pressure.
