    Oil fill tank slow to fill on my 2006 Triton TR 20X HP

    What's up fellas!
    I've got a 2017 225 Mercury Pro XS Optimax. When filling the oil tank,.. it is slow going !! I mean I'd rather watch paint dry!
    Any ideas on how to make this a quicker process outside of loosening the cap on the tank itself for venting ?
