Pyro Temperture

[roberto pesant]

I have a 30′ Egret with a straight shaft Yanmar 6LP 315 HP. The prop is 20X24 three blade. The dry weight on the boat is 5,000 LBS, fuel capacity is 210 Gallons and the bait well is 100 Gallons. The boat at half fuel and full bait well turns 4000 to 4100 RPM. We run the boat at 3000 RPM. We recently added an SMX Pyro Gauge. The prove is in the dry riser about 2 inches from the turbo exit flange. The temperature is constant 670 at cruise. Our Yanmar mechanic feels that this temperature is indicating there is not enough load on the engine. I would like to know your opinion.
Thank you

1)Post a good pic of where the probe is located……..Post a picture of the gauge

2) Your mechanic has no clue about this engine to make a statement like that…………………. Just ignore it.

3) A 5000 lb boat with that engine must be quite fast at WOT! 35K ++ ??
