My 525efi ran right around 150* REGARDLESS of RPM, or the temp of the water I was boating in. Oil temp would go up to 192*, then fall back to around 160* once the t-stat opened.

At first, I was concerned about the water temp too, but that's just the way it was. The motor ran great.

Unless you did a wide open throttle chop plug read you are worried about nothing. Rather be a little rich than lean any day.

30 Superboat, 5200 RPM with a labbed 28P bravo, or around 5000 RPMs with a 26P Maximus. The bravo was faster, usually around 78 MPH, saw 80 once or twice. 75 ish with the Maximus. Cool air and light load I could occasionally hit the rev limiter with the 28 bravo.
