Just curious as to the oil temps you're running when she's flat out for extended periods, because my starboard motor runs oil temps of 260 when I push her hard.

Re: Merc 600sc?Any Good?
Josh,, I just reread your first post,,, The good thing about the package your looking at is the #5s ,,, the 600sc engine has a lot of untapped Hp left in it ,,, the cams are very small,, the timming is conservitive from Merc and the compression is only 7.5 to 1,,,, of course when you start changing things you lose relabilty!!!! however 650 to 700hp is well within reach and of course intercoolers are always an option,,, the down side ,,, I have yet to find pulleys for the 420B&M blowers ????? anybody??
