High water pressure
I noticed that my port engine was running more water pressure than my starboard engine. The starboard engine runs about 35 psi but the port engine pegs the gauge 45+. The oil pressure is slightly higher on the port engine as well. The starboard runs about 40psi and the port 50psi. Is this anything I need to worry about?

I have pop-off valves and I know they do relieve some pressure. Would a stuck closed thermostat cause this. I am going to pull mine tommorow and take a look. Anything else, anywhere else I should check?
