Hey All...

So I have a factory installed Kohler generator on my 2001 350 Mariner... But I am new to the boat.

So I'm new to having a generator. I start it up and she runs well, except I get very small amount of water out of the exhaust. Because i'm super paranoid, I have not run it for very long, maybe 3-5 mins MAX.

Here is what I know, but don't know if any of it matters:
- I have a closed loop cooling system
- Have completely cleaned sea strainer
- gen starts and seems to run just fine but have tried not to over heat her by only running in short spurts.
- right at start it seems to "mist" water
- a few mins after starting, it will blurb out maybe a cup of water then return to misting drops of water. This cycle seems to continue.

Does this sound like normal functionality? You will all make my day if you say "Oh ya man, thats how it works!"

also, do these things have overheat shut down protection?
