How much water flow ?

I had to install an old "T" ball set up. Merc bulletin advises with an Alpha One pump. High pressure , low flow pump.

How much water flow

The boat is gone but I hate when people don't finish their threads on problems. Being at fault I'll try to sum it up. The water flow was measured and was around 8.5 gpm to 9.5 at idle. The problem was the Thermostat Housing ! The Alpha One Gen One must use the "T" ball thermostat per a Mercruiser bulletin. I Changed the housing and all temps fell right in place. Problem solved.
The 106 has a Hi press, low volume pump. The Gen ll uses a low press, Hi volume pump. The porting in the tstat is different.
The engine that I purchased must have been set up with a Gen ll drive.
