My 40 was built 3/70 and I purchased it two years ago as the 7th owner. I have a question about oil pressure. At idle the gauge reads about 25 psi and once moving it goes up to 50 psi. Are these readings normal?

Yes, as the oil warms up the pressure will fluctuate as well..
25 psi @ idle is really good for just about ANY motor- 50psi while moving is decent as well. No worries here...

How does that convert to "low-high" gauges? Ie is 25psi low? 50 would be ?
