    Changes from Yamalube to Pennzoil 100% Synthetic

    Well I made the change as some have recommended. Ran the boat in a tourney over the weekend and put 1 hour on the motor during the tourney. The motor seamed to run well and idle/start a little better. The problem that I have is that the motor smokes more, especially at idle after restarting the motor. I run ring free and stabil as recommended. Any thoughts on why the motor smokes more now? Thanks in advance.
