Hello guys, I am a new member and fairly new to boating. Fortunately I am a good mechanic and see no problem working on boat motors. My question is this, I use synthetic motor oil in all of my cars, trucks, and motorcycles and I firmly beleive that it really helps the longevity of 4 cycle engines.
So now I have a boat that was given to me, and have found a nice little 1976 55 hp Sea Horse motor to go on it, I am wondering if synthetic 2 cycle oil is all that beneficial in that type of motor.
Since a 2 stroke basically burns up the oil, it seems to me that synthetic oil being more expensive than standard marine oil may be a waste of money.
So does anybody here use synthetic marine oil and does it make a difference?
