    Jabsco 17850-1012 DIY Oil Changer.....very slow :(

    I have been using this for several years and get frustrated each time. It is soo slow. I use full synthetics so it is thicker oil. I always make sure the oil is warm by running the engines for a few moments. It takes 45 - 55min per engine and I never get 7qrts out, usually about 6. I have...

    What's the opinion of moving from this 20000 340 gasser to a 2005 400 gasser? We are Ga lake boaters. But I hear it is a mistake to go with gasser on a 400. It is underpowered and fought on the resale. Would you do the upgrade from a 2000 340? The 340 has been a great boat. Sent from my...
