Thanks
Yes, stock oil system. I thought 50:1 was about average for the 300XS?

Frank, you are living the dream. You have my favorite boat, powertrain (300xs) and seem to live in a beautiful spot. I am repowering my 25 Talon from modded 300hp 260s' to twin 225 promaxes for hopefully better reliability and fuel consumption. Hope our paths cross sometime. I'm thinking about the Jacksonville poker run. Maybe I'll see you there. Bob

I blew a power head when the boat was 3 weeks old. Melted #5 piston, and ventilated the block with the rod.
had 2 props fail
developed cracks on the lower units, an have gone through 6 lowers, in the first 2 years
burned up 1 coil, which set fire to the ignition system harness, at 2 years 2 months
AFTER WARRANTY:
replaced 1 electrical plate solenoid, at 3 years 3 months
replaced 1 alternator that failed, at 3 years 4 months
tried about a dozen sets of props, before I found the best ones for my boat.
Throttle-Up, CNC 4 blade, over hub cleavers 14.75 x 31, they have never failed!
