My latest was yesterday:

2003 Suzuki 140HP 4-Stroke Outboard.

OUT: Amsoil 4-Stroke Marine 10w-40 + Suzuki Filter

IN: Amsoil 4-Stroke Marine 10w-40 + Suzuki Filter

Purrs like a Kitten. Here's a pic of my 18' fishin' rig:

Amsoil WCF 10W-40 is a great oil. I have used it in my Verado's for nearly 300hrs. Next OCI I'll be running the Amsoil 15W-50 Racing Oil.
 
Last OC for my boat is as follows...

OUT: Mercury 4-Stroke 10W30 + Mercury Filter
IN: Royal Purple High Performance Marine(HPM) 10W30 + Mercury Filter

MY BOAT & MOTOR:
2002 Lowe 1677WT Deep-V Utility
2002 Mercury 40HP EFI 4-Stroke

Mostly used for waterfowl hunting( Oct-Feb )but also used on the coast in the summer for fishing.

Changed the break in oil on my 2012 Yamaha F300 on Sunday. Drained the factory Yamalube 10w-30 and replaced with 7qts of Chevron Supreme 10w-30. Factory yamaha filter. The T9.9 got 26oz of Chevron Supreme 10w-30 as well.

This pic was taken by my buddy a couple weeks ago. We were halibut fishing 42 miles out.

Sweet, guys, keep the pics (oh and the OCI info) coming...
 
The Fishing Setup:

P1010300.jpg


2001 Yamaha 115 4 Stroke. 10w30 Yamalube and I can't remember the filter at the moment. Boat is a 2001 Lund Pro Sport 1700. Tow rig is an '04 F150 Supercrew with the 5.4 3V and 116,000 miles on her (Conventional Mobil in the sump of that one at the moment).
 
Sweet MNgopher!

I actually fish just West of ya (Carl's Lake). You fish Carl's? 4 of us caught our limit of C r a p p i e s in 1 hour there & we caught 40+ Sunfish, a Northern, a Bass, Perch & 2 Walleyes all in 3 total hours!

Also fish the St. Croix A LOT. Just got back from 6 days on Big Winnie too. Fished Winnie for 46 years.
 
I have not fished Carl's, though I know where it is and have several co-workers who frequent it.

My usual haunt is Lake Vermilion - family has had a cabin up there since the early 70's.
 
Yep, been to Vermilion. Jaw dropping scenery.

Carl's lake fish are very particular; if ya don't fish it a certain way, they won't bite much at all. I've reproduced that experiment several times.
