    synthetic oil

    I am going to change my oil to synthetic oil. What is the process? do I get cheep synthetic oil, if there is such a thing, run the motor for a bit, minutes on the cheep stuff and then change the oil and filter and put the good stuff in? Or should I just do a normal oil change?

    Aero Star

    I checked on iboats and could find no information on AeroStar props. So,,, I have two questions here. 1) Does I boats sell them? 2) Has anyone used them or heard much about them? They look interesting. Its like a two speed automatic transmission for your boat but its all at the prop.
