A wall temperature acquisition unit acquires a wall temperature of an internal combustion engine. A wall temperature adjustment unit adjusts the wall temperature. A ratio adjustment unit adjusts a gas ratio that is acquired by dividing a mass flow amount of gas supplied to the internal combustion engine by a mass flow amount of fuel supplied to the internal combustion engine. The wall temperature adjustment unit performs a low wall temperature control to maintain the wall temperature at a low temperature when the internal combustion engine is at a high load and a high wall temperature control to maintain the wall temperature at a high temperature when the internal combustion engine is at a low load. The ratio adjustment unit adjusts the gas ratio based on the wall temperature, when switching between the low wall temperature control and the high wall temperature control is performed.

A marine drive is for propelling a vessel in body of water. The marine drive has a powerhead, a crankcase on the powerhead, and a cooling system that pumps a first flow of cooling water from the body of water through a powerhead cooling conduit for cooling the powerhead and in parallel pumps a second flow of cooling water from the body of water through a crankcase cooler for cooling the crankcase and lubricant in the crankcase. A valve controls the second flow of the cooling water to the crankcase cooler. The valve is normally positioned in a closed position, which inhibits the second flow of cooling water to the crankcase cooler and thereby reduces condensation of water from the lubricant in the crankcase. The valve is moved into an open position upon operation of the powerhead at or above a threshold speed, which permits the second flow of cooling water to the crankcase cooler and thereby cools the lubricant in the crankcase. Corresponding methods of operating the marine drive and cooling system are provided.
