I guess as long as oil temp gets to 170 it's fine?
Do miss that gauge along with .. yes Aslan.. water pressure..
I wasn't in a big hurry to change it this year. The oil gets changed every year anyways and I only put 25 hours on it anyways. Plus I figured it's lasted 15 years it's prob not going to cause the engine to go now.lol

Yes
Water pressure gauge would be nice.
Thx Matt.
I'm still terrified with out it... I told you I wait until I hear the change in CC and watch the water flow out every outing.. I know they have alarms but I'm weird

I’m going to explain something that happend to me today .. before anyone asks if I was drunk I will tell you I wasn’t. The weather in Maine has been very unseasonably warm(88) we took the boat out today. When getting above 50mph water was kind of spraying out from under the steering wheel. At first I didn’t think a lot of it , but it was still happening at the end of the day!! It actually seemed like it was coming out a little faster . I did smell it and there was no smell and it didn’t feel like oil. To describe location ( it was spraying on my feet) not like a hose more like a passing sprinkle.. no I don’t do drugs and there are no holes under my boat. Help please;-)

The speedometer pitot tube travels from rear outdrive to dash via hose.. it's splitting at the speedo .
Fix it and you will pick up 5 mph and dry carpet

Your garbage can isn't under there is it? It could be that liquid just had to go?
Yes put your speedo hose back on.
