Hello Fellow 496 MAG HO owners,
I have a 2012 350SS and the Port engine always runs around 6~8 psi higher than the STBD, depending on RPM I am running. Port usually is around 20 PSI while the STBD is always around 14~15 PSI. Port Eng temp is solid at 167, STBD always runs hotter around 174-176. Understand the Port engine has the water heater acting as an additional Heat Exchanger, but more concerned with the water PSI. Both seawater pump impellers were changed early Spring (March), both engines have run approx 35~40 hours since. Does this seem normal/acceptable? Bothers me, will check the incoming water hose to ensure no blockage. Anyone have this much of a difference? Thanks
Steve
