My lefty oil is always much dirtier than my right. Thoughts??

TOTALLY NORMAL!

Standard always comes out looking fairly clean. Counter comes out dirty, sometimes really bad. Standard takes more fluid during a service. One thing to keep in mind... While pumping new fluid in, after it comes out the fill hole, as though it may be full..., set down the pump, wait 15 minutes, then resume filling. I've sometimes added an additional 8 ounces, every time.

Like he said. Totally normal. I actually change my left twice to every once on the right.
Big thing is to check the magnet for any debris.

Hey Steve, the trailer looks great! :ernaehrung004: The rear view would sure look a lot better with a set of Dewalds on the lowers though. ;)

Took me a while (almost 2 weeks) ;-)

Thanks! really don't want to re rig a boat. Looking for 2003 & up.
Probably have to wait till after the summer when someone wants out.

Any of you Skater boys gonna visit the Bay area or Delta for the best boating weather over the next 2 months?
We have an awesome group of twin outboards with Skaters ranging from 28-32' that I know of. I believe 7 or 8 along with several other brands that join us almost every weekend. There will be several trips to SF Bay, Petaluma, possibly Half Moon Bay, the Delta (all the time), Sacramento, & other spots.

Would love to run out there someday as we are trying to talk Dale into coming east! It would be cool to have an O/B Skaterfest someday. Such a long haul!
