New impeller and other stuff
So I got the impeller replaced in my 90hp Merc OB. Cost $151 and change so it seemed really fair. He asked me what kind of oil I was using. Told him Penzoil.
He said don't use it - use Mercury oil instead - much better oil and won't smoke as much. I asked him his opinion of hydrofoil stabilizers (was looking at Davis Whale Tail). I was looking for plane at lower speeds and better handling in rough water. He said don't bother...you won't like how it causes your 17 footer to wander and if you get a stick between the prop and the plate it will rip it apart. He said Merc is coming out next year with a 4 blade prop for your 90 that would allow plane at lower speeds (didn't say much about rough water handling). My 90hp is oil injection so when I got back home, I pumped out the oil and replaced with Mercury OB 2 stoke oil.
