Did a compression check today and found a range of 150 to 160 PSI on the MerCruiser 525 engine. Are these compression ranges within the normal range for this engine?

Ended up having the steering box replaced by the dealer. That took care of the play. The problem now is that the steering effort has increased quite a bit. That still needs to be sorted out.
