Just purchased new Cobalt with Volvo Penta V8-380 Closed Loop with forward facing drive. We put 12 hours on this weekend breaking it in and surfing. Temperature went up to 220 degrees under load (surfing at 3000 RPM around 12 MPH, with people and ballasts full). Air & Water temp both 70-80 degrees. Is this common?

No it's not. Check your impeller or get it back to the dealer ASAP
