Re: Oil temp
Same here for 500EFI, 140-160 cruise, 180 max. Not sure why it doesn't go above 210F to boil off condensate, but not sure where the oil temp is measured (pre cooler or after cooler). That may explain the differences.

Re: Oil temp
Our 96 27 fever used to run the same way. 235 cruising then it would drop to 190 or so. Never had any problems, but i did change the oil every 10-15 hours. hope this helps

Re: Oil temp
I complained about high oil temp on my twin 6.2 MPI's 230 @ normal cruise and 260 @ WOT. Delivery sheet showed the same numbers and Mercruiser says it's OK as well. My friend with the same boat but a 525 EFI runs very low 190 Max. MY .02...

Re: Oil temp
Redline, I have the same exact boat and the same problem
I am changing my remote oil filter and adapter to a 540 bulldog unit with a thermostat because this was a problem with our engines also I am switching all of my oil lines to #12 hose with aeroquip fittings I should have everything in this week and will let you know how I make out
