Near 1000hp , 190* cruise , 240ish wot.
13 plate bellhousing coolers , Lake Michigan water.
Oil might be okay at 280* but what are the bearings and such seeing? Like Griff said it depends on where that temp reading is being taken.. before or after the cooler .

i use this to great success. Always works and there is real data supporting it.

Do your research, the science and dyno proven results with lower oil temps too.

my starboard is the same - consistently 20* hotter across the entire range. It bothers me enough that i might put mismatched sized coolers on it this winter. It annoys me......
