What Oil To Run
#2
If your asking about the oil weight i believe they call for a 20w-50 or a straight 50 oil in most boat engines. If your asking about what brand.....well thats a whole nother debate in its self!! 
I personally run Red Line synthetic in all my toys. and if its got to be dyno oil then i go with Pensoil or Castrol GTX. Valvoline racing is also nice...

I was told to run SAE30 or SAE40 and that's what I have done for a few years. Change it every 20 hours. I just switched to a synthetic to see if I could actually see a difference(oil pressure, temps, etc)
The brand is up to you, everyone has different opinions. I ran Valvoline.

Mercruiser owners manual states use straight 40 weight oil.
I personally run Castrol GT High perf racing oil. 460 hours of which 160 include a Whipplecharger. Still same oil presssures as the day I brought it home from the dealer.
Just remember whatever oil you use MAKE SURE the oil is fully warmed up before you start running it hard. This is the number 1 cause of early wearout of motor parts.
