Our boat is for sale. We used to. Not in the 6's. In the Bravo's we did. We normally don't have a boat for more than a season and we don't put more than 25 hours on them.

Come on guys...we need 30,000 hits by 2007....any oil questions? :D

Re: Marine Lubrication
 

I'll help out, anybody running Valvoline 20-50 Racing? Not the VR1, it;s hard to find, suppose to have more zinc than others.

Hydro,

It would be really great if you would edit the first post in this thread, and in addition to the oil filter cross reference also add the top 3-5 engine oil recommendations, the top 3-5 gear oils, and the top 3-5 filters. It would be much easier to find than reading the entire thread, which has some terrific info BTW. Just a thought....
