Water Temp?
I'am Running Twin 540's With No Thermostats
Engines Run At About 110 Degrees And Oil Temp Gauges Never Moves Up (oil Never Gets Hot?) Is This Good Or Should I Be Trying To Build Some Heat To Warm Oil So It Cleans Properly? Thanks Again |

After engine rebuilds and new t-stats I found my oil temp was not really matching the water temp.... I replaced ALL my senders and switchs. Low and behold, after replacing all the senders, now my oil temp gets hot. So I would check the senders first. chances are, the oil is getting hot, it is just not reflecting on yoru gauge. If the oil was staying cool, it wouldn't run that good andnot make all the power it should I wouldn't think.

Yep, probably a bad sender. I run a crossover as well, water temp never even registers, but the oil temp will still go up.
If you decide not to run a thermostat, make sure you run the boat hard enough to get the oil temps up to at least 215* for a good period of time to get condensation out of the oil. |
