I've seen mine get up to about 120 deg when thrashing it on a hot day.

Bloody hell haha, how long does it take for your gauge to start registering? Think mine is 75-120deg but it takes a while for it to climb up. Just wanted to make sure this was normal and not a faulty gauge

Takes ages to get up to normal running temp, much longer than the water does.
