Seems as it uses lake water to cool the engine, I doubt there is ONE set temperature to check. Mine will run hotter in warmer water, cooler in cooler water.
Ive also got a outlet that dumps the water out the rear side of the machine so I can always feel the temp.. I can run all day long and still touch the sides of the cases on the block. Tho I dont suggest trying that if you dont know what your doing. In all my times of feeling the water temp on my outlet, it has NEVER burned my hand. And only a few times been kinda hot.

Temp
I agree that there is not one temp that the engine will run at due to the water temp but there should be an upper range that you do not want to ever continuously run at regardless of the water temp.As for touching the sides of the engine,I can touch them but only for a sec.I have another ski that has the same engine and it runs about 5 to 10 degrees cooler.The water i am running in can run from 80 to 88 degrees( It is hot in texas).
