it should get hotter than that.....we set up a stock 200 on a 280 plate ....followed marles setup exactly! capped off poppet completely.....motor runs 150 summer time and 140 last time out....fine tune with differnt hole size coming out of heads
im currently setting up a steel bore motor on a early 260 plate with the 4 small dumps.....well see how it does soon.........81' HYDROSTREAM VECTOR / slightly Modified 200

Alot depends on where you run your boat when using Marles set up. When I did it years ago, as long as the inlet water temp was between 55 and 80 degrees, it worked fine. Cooler water temps were a problem. I found that reducing the drain holes to 1/4 inch in the adapter and adding a discharge off the poppet cover with a venturi ( brass plug/fitting with a hole to provide additional discharge in warm water) provided addition range. Also, it is very important not to for get the diverters in the block.

Mark,
Exactly! It takes a little tweaking to make it temp up correctly in your waters.
Not something for everyone and it could get a bit frustrating if you are doing it for the first time!
A perfect and proven example to me was, a buddy here locally was running around breaking-in a 225PM so running in the bay everything all is good so he decided to go out the inlet into the cold Atlantic waters 5mins into it he cold seized.
The other very important thing to do is the block mods. Reason being the cold water comes up and hits the lower cylinders dead on, which is NG.
If you look at the PM block you can see the drain holes in the intake cavity and if you look at a 245/260/280 block that normally come with the 1pc's are in the outside of that cavity hence the reason to Marles block mod.
NOTE: I do not like to weld the block! I use Stainless flush plugs with red loctite in case I want to reverse the mod to run on a 2pc plate.

Lee & Clay Sanderson and I did the dyno runs. We did some baseline runs before the SVS conversion and then a bunch after. Then used the data to develop a custom fuel curve.
Still waiting to get the adapter back from the welder/machinist.Go Time

Mark, ...that is one heavy casting to work with when it comes to welding.
Post up pics when you get it back.....

Yeah, and access is poor. I think I will also use some epoxy to reinforce and help seal the joints.

Look closely. The holes on the PM block are on the entry cavity side of the plate where the water comes into the block and when it is the coldest.
On the 245/260 block they are on the drain side of the plate.
If you run in waters that are normally warm to hot it would probably not be an issue. There is a reason why Mercury did that. This is just my opinion and suggestion!

Yes I understand. Only thing I was wondering is if running a 1 piece or 2 piece plate would make any difference on the pm block regarding the drain holes. Cold water will be pushed in both with 1 piece and 2 piece. Maybe they did it because of the high volume water cooling with a stock 1 piece plate?
