So how long do you think it will be before we start seeing catalytic converters on Merc Sterndrives and Inboards ?

In reading the file it sounds like they are already coming out, Indmar had them late last year. Link below!

This has been in the works for quite a while.. Volvo is on the way as well.. The emissions features on the standard marine engines will be quite common soon.. ;) Jamie

Sounds good to me. This will end all the prior board discussions on which oil to use. Mercury Marine states in this notice that this recommendation supercedes all prior recommendations regardless of what the owners manual states.

The oil requirement is for catalytic applications, most of us can still argue, dino, syn, weight and what ever for awhile yet!
