OMG! Another OMC 460!
(I had one of those.....recently too)



Ok, well yes you would benefit from synthetic oil in the drive.

I didn't in mine but I do now in the Bravo I have in my Liberator. I just use the Mercury HP but a 5 gallon pail of it should last you a good long time!


Regards,


Rick

The boat is a gradywhite gulfstreem, so when it goes i will re power Two boats ago i had a 87 four winns 235 sundowner with a 454 mag alpha 1 brought new with the 454 mag option . We put 600 hours on it before it was sold it. very nice boat it also had the molded fiberglass deck . I did like the mercruiser,I dream of 496 or a502 mag for the repower someday ps still caint post a photo

I would love to have a 502!

I cannot complain with the 454 though. I am still amazed at how this boat performs with the Bravo III.
