I think its a Mercruiser correct ? and what year model ? and what model 502 meaning is this a 502 Mercruiser MCM or MIE or in a jet boat app ? is this a completely OEM stock set up. all of this really matters to what exactly you have so all the guess work is taken out of the mix to get the proper answers to your questions.
and lastly your Engine serial number is ?

That sounds correct for most of them. Mine goes from pump to the oil cooler (across the bell housing) and them PS cooler only because it was modified. Yours would probably go as you saying without knowing anything else about the motor

Can't get serial but its a stock 502 MCM mag mpi.
By looking without dismantling(its a new motor) it looks like the fuel cooler is the first stop.
Does not look like a oil/power steer cooler on top of the bellhousing.Looks like a straight through pipe.
Just trying to work out where to look for debris after the raw water pump.

Thanks.
Just checked my manual and it is shown as being a power steering cooler on top of the bell housing.
Mine does not have this.It is a plastic straight through tube.Will get serial number.

If you have hydraulic steering you will not have a cooler. If it is a twin engine install, then only one may have the PS cooler

Well i just checked and i can find no power steering cooler.
Can't think that Merc would delete it even in a twin installation.
Serial is OLO17278.
Guess i'll have to fit one.
