Starting the motor gets oil to parts faster. Cranking it is slower

Most boats here are stored 8-9 months.

Synthetic oil flows faster, if that makes you feel better. :wink;

Thats Crazy. I cant tell you how many times I walked away with the lanyard attached to my shorts only to go back 4 hours later and have a complete panic meltdown because the boat wouldnt start only to realize the lanyard is laying on the floor. Mine turns over 100% with the lanyard pulled.
