I first tried one of those regulators and had the same problem .Then I got a weaker spring and the pressure fluctuated real bad. So I ordered a regulator from CP that is adjustable problem solved.

I swapped sportmaster for imco lowers on a 39 o/l. Pressure went from just touching 30 to wrapping the gauge back around to 0. Got it down to 38 for the key west run. This was a 525 boat. The 41 with 700's had a cooling issue and merc service manual said min 30psi @ wot
