    I got my new 29" Cutting Edge Props today. Maybe I can sneak out tomorrow if the wind doesn't change to much.
    If they only need tweeked a little bit, Dan could try a little foot magic before I send them back to Cali?

    [QUOTE=ICDEDPPL;560693]My 600sc oil would stay clean forever, whole season.. still clean. The oil in these motors gets dirty fast, when it starts to get all over the transom I change it then the transom is clean again. so I gauge my change intervals according to the transom. My starboard side motor runs rich and the oil is darker after one weekend.

    Well don't follow that logic with your PSD Ford!!!!
    To each his own, just curious.

    I make it a regular habit of smelling my dipstick while checking the oil. Fuel dilution is no good for bearings, lifters, etc. As for the oil turning black right away, it can be a sign of worn piston rings. Piston rings/cylinder walls wear out faster if the engine is overly rich. Excesse Fuel washes the oil off the cylinder walls, accelerating wear.

    I am pretty sure the 502 mags were notorious for consuming oil, even when new. Mike fountain or Dennis baja might be able to confirm this. That could be why your oil turns black faster. Your 600sc was a 502, but different pistons.

    90 hours! Holy geez, I thought you'd be pulling them in a few weeks for a freshen up? I suppose you can just pour some of the engine restore or stop smoke they sell at trak auto in, and go another couple seasons. I think sonic Todd might have some for you. It's in his boat next to the bottles of marvel mystery oil and octane booster...or maybe that's ky jelley and vodka, I forget.

    BTW, how are my friends from marina shores with the small cruiser doing? Had a good time hanging out with them in Michigan city. Say hello for me

    Going from 90 degrees to 70 degrees in one day = north wind = rough lake. Its going to be cool all week, warming slightly for the weekend. Wind forecast (at least for right now) is less than 10mph. Might be perfect.

    Start driving tomorrow...you'll make it.

    I was thinking E.Chicago...don't care which way I go. Tradition would dictate a Michigan City run... (Dan...I mean Indiana City).
