    Windless ??

    my windless seems to not have much power. Pulling up it struggled not under a big load and then stopped. Motor wasn’t hot amd solenoid just clicked. Waited a few minutes and finished bringing it up. Ideas on 1/2 power and stopping half way?? Thanks!

    Merc 4.3 oil pressure on twins.

    Put away last year and idle pressures were 45 psi. I changed oils to 20w50 Royal Purple. One was 45 and other was 35 at idle. Both are good but wonder why one is now 10 psi less. Yes I winterized correctly and I did change oils and it is about 50 degrees today. Maybe 1 doesn't like the grade I...
