    XD100 Full Synthetic Light Amber Color

    That was in 2018, I read that. I remember dealing with a guy that was determined to buy the stuff, for his non DFI engine, eventually I rang the sale, but with a Caveat on the Receipt that the Oil was not for non DFI engines

    XD100 Full Synthetic Light Amber Color

    Maybe BRP changed the XD100, but I recall the label stating it wasn't to be mixed in with the gas(which would include VRO/MRO, and Mercs mixing system). It was engineered for use in the DFI engines

    Upgrade to 4bbl, what about throttle cable bracket?

    I have never had to continuously 'tweak' a Holley Carb, or a Q-jet. Those Carter/Weber/Edelbrock, they are a different story altogether.

As mentioned above, a SS Prop can and will place far greater stress on the Drivetrain, when the prop contacts obstacles, as it refuses to yield. As for speed increases, if the SS is pretty much identical to the...

    Why different gear ratios in Merc V6 motors.

    Reduces the Range of Prop Pitches needed. If the 1.87 case wasn't introduced, I suspect pitches in the 28" to 32" range would have had to be added the prop lines

    Great day on the water yesterday

    The Mountains have a look similar to a lot of the Canadian Rockies, which are about 400kms from where I live. The Rockies are relatively young Mountains too, but on the side closer to me, are the remnants of old worn down Mountains. Most of the 400kms between the Rockies and my Home, if it...

    Great day on the water yesterday

    Fragile Ecosystem I suspect. One good thing about a complete Ban, is that there are no Wakeboard Boats on it. The Mountains in the background, appear to be quite recent, being sharp and jagged

    Bad 2 cycle oil from amazon

    Back in the day, I remember Gasoline often was dyed Red, sometimes Purple. Though Purple was supposed to be used in Farm Equipment, as it wasn't taxed. Every Rural town had Inspectors with Tennessee Credit Cards getting samples from cars/trucks parked, Liquor Stores were a popular location. If...
