Default Oil too cold. I need proof that it is bad

OK here is the deal. My buddy has a boat and the oil is cooled via a ocean water heat exchanger which keeps the oil at 140F when it is running hard.

I keep telling him that it is running too cold and you can even see the cream (water/oil) build up on the breather. His response is he is running synthetic and oil works just as well at low temps.

What I need is documentation or pictures which show what low oil temp does to an engine. Anybody got any ideas?
