Well done!

Glad to see it looks like you found your problem !

You don't have to boil water (ie: to turn it it turn to steam) to remove itself from oil, or other things for that matter.

Evaporation can happen at much lower temps. However, yeh, the hotter it is, the faster it will.

I just wanted to say thanks to all for the help on my oil temp issue. After Running last weekend i decided to remove the end caps on my coolers. I was shocked at my findings. I can't believe the oil wasn't showing hotter and the engine water temp was at normal 152. SAND<PEBBLES>SEAWEED CLOGGED IN BOTH COOLERS.
Curious about the oil temps after cleaning

No. The boat never had them as long as i have it..7 years. Strainers get in the way and makes it tough to work on the motors. I can sit in the front of my engines and work with ease. Plug change 1/2 hour each engine. Seawater pump out in 10 minutes etc. I never took the end caps off in 7 years and its very easy too. Now it will be a regular routine. I'm sure the water pressure will rise and i'll know where it should be. When it drops or when the oil temps starts acting up i'll know where to go.

35 Fountain with bravo's should have plenty of room in the bilge for strainers. Here is a picture of a 35 with Speedmaster drives, and transmissions, which move the engines forward about a foot. Still plenty of room.
