Albin 27 sport with Nissan engine - oil pressure at idle?

I'm looking at an 86 sport with the Nissan LD28. Ran it up - once warmed up the oil pressure at idle was just 15psi. Is this the normal low end oil pressure for the LD28M? Thanks

According to the maintenance/service manual for the LD28M, oil pressure at idle when warm can be as low as 7psi in the normal range.

PMacken,
I assume you have the Nissan 78 HP engine on your boat? I just bought one back in November and am trying to get a feel for thier reliability. Have you had any problems? Any advice? I have not had a chnce to do anything other than a Sea Trial at this point
Thanks

Jeff

My Nissan LD28M is a noisy little beast, but performs well. Especially at the 2800 to 3100 rpm level. no smoke, just steam from the exhaust so I know it is burning fuel well. Plus at lower rpms, the temp gauge runs 120-140 degree level which is not efficient either.
Others may have different rpm levels for performance as I have a 19"X18 pitch prop. The boat specs out at a 18"X16 pitch as ideal, but I use the larger prop to tweak the speed a tad to get me over 9 kts.

As for my oil pressure. When it is hot, the gauge goes up just under 10psi. Running is up there.
