Default StarTron high performance SAE 90w

Having to make an unexpected trip to winterize my boat, all I can find locally is StarTron. Looks and feels like Quicksilver…good to go?

I've been running it in a twin bravo setup for last 100 hrs, no issues yet.... just changed it and looked/smelled fresh still. This is not in a high hp/tq application (twin 6.2's) and running drive showers.

This was me posting as 'Bajafan' whilst at my boat storage unit. I ended up NOT being able to do the drive oil change as I simply could not get the nose of the boat down low enough to get the outdrive level...grrrr. But yeah, I swear the oil is made by the same company as Quicksilver.
