    Trim and tilt problems on 5.0L

    The trim and tilt on this boat works OK. All the way up and all the way down, every time without fail, uninterrupted. However, I notice 2 things.

    1995 OMC 5.0L motor oil question

    I have a '95 Four Winns Horizon 190 with an OMC 5.0L. The previous owner said he used 10W30 motor oil. I was always under the understanding that straight weight SAE 30 should be used in marine I/O engines. Will either one be OK to use?
