[QUOTE="Rob Silver, post: 405019, member: 13670"] Does this mean that since XD 100 is a little harder to come by, I should just use the usual stuff so that "a pinch" never occurs? I can live with that. My quest to find my repower still continues though. Top of the list for the 4-strokes is the $1900 difference.....however, maintenance seems to be the equalizing factor given that both motors will need impeller/water pump replacements, lower case oil change and the regular maintenance each outboard requires -- and the ETEC self winterizes, will get 300 hours before a "scheduled maintenance" and has more torque. I am glad I still have 2 months to decide since the prices quoted will hold until the end of March. [/QUOTE]
