Your probably fine. Most marine gages can be off from true by 10% I have a new pair of 525's and the oil pressure Gaffrig- Livorsi have never read over 50 psi. A mechanical Gage read 10-15 more pressure.

Agreed most likely just a gauge difference. If your that concerned try swapping sender wires on the gauges see what it reads.

Shouldn't you have the Merc 140's in there?
