My 8.1HO's always have some steam. Idle, low rpm's, high rpm's. The colder the water, the more steam - or as someone above mentioned - the tighter the temp/dew point the more steam. Big temp/dew point spread, less steam. I read my temps directly from each engines ECU, zero issues.
Enjoy this....mid-December sea trial of my boat on the Ohio river. Water temp was 45 degrees. Learned all about steam from the surveyor (ya, that's him between the motors in the video) that day as I was initially taken aback...
