not related. i believe 150 is too cold for water and oil needs to be 210 to 230 stable.

150* is fine for water temp. Thats what all merc carbed motors run.

You want oil temps to be about 210* at cruise speed and they may creep up to around 260* after a hard run. If it gets beyond about 260* its getting too hot and ou need a bigger oil cooler.
