Abstract
A lubricant supply system for a marine engine is provided with a lubricant conduit that is formed within an engine block in close proximity to a coolant conduit. The coolant conduit is extended, by a bulge, in a direction toward the lubricant conduit in order to reduce the distance through which heat must travel through the base material of the engine block to cool the lubricant flowing through the lubricant conduit by the water flowing through the coolant conduit.
