    1984 225D motor. oil question

    I found owners manual for the boat. I am getting conflicting info. It says for a 1984 225D, to use 10w-40 oil. Where i am getting my parts from, said to use straight 30W. Is this too light of an oil? Again im used to older car engines, where i would use a 10w-40, for a thicker oil. Thx.
