Engine water Pressure

I have a 2008 Rinker 330 EC with 350 mag mpi and bravo 3 sterndrives.
I got an alarm with vesselview saying "engine power limited" with "11' in the top right corner. I was told this is a water pressure issue. Check the water pressure and at idle (600 rpm) the water pressure was 8.8 port and 0.8 starboard. I swapped the sensors and the higher pressure moved to the starboard from port. This to me seemed to be a bad sensor so I replaced both sensors. I tested the engines at idle and the pressure is 18.0 port and 20.2 starboard. They both seem consistent with each other. Does anyone know if this is okay?
