Need Experts/Advice -- Oil Pressure Gremlin... Long

I honestly don't understand what you're worried about... It's been like that for a long time and nothing has happened (and likely won't), not to mention that OP isn't all that bad, I know I wouldn't be overly concerned about it. I'd just keep a casual eye on it and make sure noting changes.
IMO, take the boat out and enjoy tipping a beer back.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.....I have run a few boats in my time and have encountered this more often than not!!!!!

Don't worry - be happy!
I understand why you worry , its obviously some of your nature but "Worry + Boating = Lousey, Not so Fun Boating!"
"Action, Only When Needed + Boating = Fun Safe Boating!"
My personal opinion at this point based on your findings and input is you don't really have a problem. Just monitor the oil pressure ocasionally, a little closer when above 4000 rpms and if it stays the same and does not degrade furthur you should be just fine until its really time to refresh or rebuild.

I must have Missouri blood in me -Show Me!
Raylar has quite a nice level of engine buisness we care to handle correctly and I doubt we will ever see Jpazluski's engines.
Just trying to give him some reasonable information, clarification and advise. Not plugg'in for work here!
Never seen a mild marine performance engine grenade at 45-47 psi oil pressure at 5000 rpms where oil pressure was shown to be the problem. If you've seen different I would like to hear the facts! I always try and keep an open mind and learn more.
