The thing you are all ignoring is a car may start up at 0f or colder and they
will run a 210f thermostst, with the oil running hotter than that. In a boat
the thermostat is almost 100 degrees cooler (typically 120f on a 4s outboard
and I doubt most folks will start it at much under 65 or 70f.)
That operating range for the oil is a small fraction of what it is in a car.
No, actually that was mentioned.... but Jax, of course, berated the
poster for mentioning it...
Frankly, if I espied Jax with tools in his and anywhere near a boat of
mine, I'd reach for the shotgun.
