    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI

    Could anyone tell me if Mobil 1 10-30 is a good oil to run in this engine? Would anyone recommend a lower unit oil for a Volvo Penta outdrive also?

    Fuel Restriction?

    Took the boat out to the lake this weekend with the new prop and high volume screens installed and this is what happened. The prop worked amazingly well. Holeshot was awesome. All of my gear either slid or rolled to the back of the boat by the time the boat got on plane. The boat almost...

    Johnson 200 Oceanrunner, check engine alarm and low rpm

    I recently bought a 2000 23' Promaster with a Johnson 200 Oceanrunner. The boat and motor have had nearly no use with the engine only having 20 hours on it. When using this boat it seems as if it has plenty of low end power but lacks top end rpm's. I could only milk 5000 rpm out of this...
