Just tell him to be aware of the heat horn, or gauge, also.

I hear a lot of guys saying 5-7 at idle. My Puma has always been around 3-3.5 at idle, and Ive never had any temp, issues. Wide open Im 25+. Just watch the temp guage to make sure you dont have a problem.

I have the exact same setup, 08 Sabre with 150 Opti. I had the same question when I bought mine about the water pressure. I found that the 150 Opti has a high volume, low pressure water pump. Therefore he will not see 25 psi. Mine runs 10-15 when wide open and less than that when just cruising. I even tried lowering the jackplate but it has no affect on it. The 150 doesnt run the water pressure that the big motors do.

You can run the performance scoops on the intakes to boost pressure.

A set of scoops on the lower Gearcase is a really good insurance feeling to build more pressure.

I joined a club this year (Rutland BASS), our first paper tourney is 4/22 at Larrabees. Hope to get up well before then. Know a couple guys that fish CT river, Brian and Roy. They have done OK. Roy is out all the time but not sure what part of the river. Hope to meet up with you some time this year. Tight lines!
