Update and can close this one.

Do appreciate the forum. Update. Taking the boat over to the marina the oil pressure settled down at max of 75psi and 35 idle, and although one turbo didn’t turn up during the trip, it did later after changing the fuel filter. It is apparent we need to exercise the boat more frequently. Turn up at dock doesn’t do it. Our bad.
With those lessons behind us I have just ordered your SMX 1730 sea water pumps and going to replace existing ones even though the sales ad for the boat said “new pumps”. The picture seems to belie that assertion.. Kevin in your parts did a good job, Since the 300 hp wasn’t listed in your sales ad I give him a call and after I sent him a picture he said they would fit.Also going to put on the new air filters I got from you as well.
So appreciate all your tips–I’m and old guy, 85, so appreciate putting up with me.
