I just talked to George at AADS and he can't get NEO right now and he is recommending Amsoil Marine. The NEO that George used to sell seems to be about a 75w-110 and the Amsoil Marine is a 75w-90. I like the idea of mixing the Severe Gear 75w-110 with the Marine 75w-90.

Ive heard this claim of "cone clutches slipping" but I will say, i got over 300 hrs from a cone clutch thats still in service with progressive more and more hp with synthetic fluid for most of it and amsoil at least the last 100 hours at 1000+ hp, by design, the harder the cone clutch turns into the gear, the harder it bites in, so I NEVER had a cone clutch slipping problems on my own equipment with amsoil either!

I have had 2 instances where delayed engagement started after switching to Amsoil. Both instances the cone clutch was worn out. Put in new clutches and the delayed engagement went away. Amsoil must be "slicker" than merc gear lube, but these cone clutches were obviously on borrowed time. I think in a bravo drive that is in good mechanical condition, Amsoil is a very good product.
