If the engine pumpe plenty seawater into the exhaust, then
In Response To: I have neve actually measured... ()
it is easy to visualise it being cool
My gague, and your comment indicate plenty water.
Our old Volvo exhaust water was bathtub temperature, say 120 F, as judged when we used it to heat up a freon foghorn in cold weather.
The thermostat regulated the circulating cooling water ( fresh side) so can keep the engine at the right temperature even when ther is "too much" seawater flow to the exhaust

- Question on exhaust gas temperature
- You could always test it...
- Check with the operational instructions

- We have an flow alarm on the engine raw water supply
- From the thermodynamics and relative water and exhaust volumes
- That seems about right
