6.2 merc engines, oil pressure on plane runs close to 60psi.
At idle port drops to 0 and light comes on but no alarm. Give it a little throttle and goes up. Starboard drops to 10psi no light. Already changed oil and filters and senders.
Any ideas??

What oil are you using? In those I’d use the Merc/Quicksilver syn blend 25/40 or better yet 25/50. I would not use a 5/ or 10/ anything!
The lowest that my old 4.3 V6 gets to after running on plane is about 25 psi at idle; after idling did a few min it will rise to about 40. I use the Merc syn blend 25/50. On plane it’s at about 60. This is an original short block from 1988 that got a top end overhaul about 7 years ago.
