Most likely normal. Was the air temp cool? Mine really steams a lot on the cool late fall days at the end of the season.
That being said, it wouldn't hurt to check your impeller to make sure its intact. The boat can actually run with a toasted impeller and not immediately overheat. I know this b/c I unknowingly ran the first two outings of this season with 3 blades left on the impeller. The boat ran fine, maybe a little warm at high speeds and with an increase in the amount of steam. All I can figure is that the boat's forward motion was enough to force at least some water into the cooling system, just not enough to keep the manifolds from steaming.
The culprit turned out to be that the screw-in hose barbs on the water strainer I installed last season had loosened up enough to allow it to suck air bubbles for who knows how long and destroy the impeller.
I've been meaning to fix a way to monitor the raw water pump output pressure like is done on higher-end outboards. At first I wanted a gauge on the dash like the outboards have. Lately though, I've been thinking that I might just drill and tap a hole into the top of the thermostat cover where flow from the RW pump enters. Then I'd just screw in a generic off the shelf 30 psi pressure gauge. That way I could at least get a little info on the health of the raw water pump. I may try that this weekend actually. I'll have to find somebody with a drill press though.
