Hi Miles,

   Thanks. I am not on board at the moment but I think we did use SAE 90. I will check.

Hi Ian and Judy,

 

I have found that when I used an 80 or 80/90 weight oil, the bow thruster leaked a little but when I use a 90 weight there is no leak.  I don’t know what oil you are using but you might want to check that it is heavy enough.
