Case of the floating B16... 444-544

I have a B16 boat motor (it runs now!) and need to find out a few details that aren't showing up in manuals:

What is the normal oil pressure for a healthy B16? I have a gauge hooked up to engine that is showing 45Lbs. at idle and above (no change). This seems much lower than the healthy range for a B18.

On the B16 generator, there are two screw-terminal connectors on the side: one labeled "61" and another labeled "51". What do these connect to to keep system charged? There is a loose red wire connected to wiring loom that was fit into one of these terminals...which one? What does other terminal connect to?

Finally, what is the B16 thermostat temp. and part number? (I cannot find a part number for replacement. Marine spec is different temp, but I cannot locate anything on this thermostat, and the B18 spare I have will not fit.) Anyone have part numbers for this item?

thanks,
Woody
