How much HP and what area do you run your boat in.

Re: oil coolers
 

I'd say to try the coolers you have and monitor your oil temps and then go bigger if you need to.

Re: oil coolers
 

Are these combo coolers, oil and power steering or just oil?
Do you have temp data now?
Wobble's question and Griff's advice hold true.
More details.

Re: oil coolers
 

For 450 HP to 600 HP a 3" by 20" is suggested...

I like Hardin's dual 2" by 18" setup...personally..I know a guy who uses twin duallys...primo! :D

850hp blown, i ordered th teagues :( better safe than sorry. engine builder said the one i had where a little small.after all ive been thru on this thats a drop in the bucket. and we boat on texoma.

Re: oil coolers
 

So Teagues have a 28"er and Hardin has dual 18"ers which is 36" of surface area...it's all about surface area..I think awhile back most thought the Dual 18" Hardin Marine units offered the most cooling/surface area and can be in tandem for dual 18" units with 72" of surface area...they cool really well I can tell you that and flow great! I see 'em on race boats...larger diameters means less surface to heat exchange surface area...these things can cool your oil to room temp if you desire.. :D
