[SPLASHED] I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

[tpenfield]

End of the season for me . . .
.
Trailer all set to go . .

.
The boat came on the bunks pretty much dead center.

.

.
Backing down my road/driveway was uneventful . . .
.

.

.
Lots of rain yesterday, so the boat had to take a pee.
.

.

.
Now for off-season maintenance.

No . . . that is the zinc paint (darker color) that I sprayed on it before launching . . . most of it has come off.

Just ordered my oil change stuff.

11 quarts of oil for each engine + 2 quarts of gear oil.

@alldodge . . . my steering goes 4 turns lock-2-lock (30˚ pivot each way)

Wow that’s a lot of oil

 

[flashback]

It seems You've had a pleasant experience thus far and a well deserved toast for all the effort.

Yes, and I noticed that the oil change interval is 100 hours, probably because of the amount of oil. I've always though 50 hours was typical.
