I am running a couple of 502 c.i. Tyler Crockett 600's and am using the standard factory oil coolers that came with the boat with the 502 magnums. I don't seem to have an oil temp problem with these. Does anyone have a recommended oil cooler for these motors other than the factory version? If not where is the best place to obtain a replacement? I have one leaking water into the bilge right now. I figure I might as well replace both while I am at it.
Thanks.

Hi Curt,
I use a 3" diameter oil cooler on my blower motor. It cools the oil temp much better than the factory 2" oil cooler, but your factory (Merc) oil thermostat controls your oil temp.
I have an extra 3" oil cooler with mounting brackets which is about the same lenght as your merc 2" oil cooler. Let me know if you want a deal on it.
Good luck!

Thanks Ralph. I decided to have the existing cooler repaired instead of purchasing a new one.
MUCH cheaper!
