Being my outdrive is pretty white from build up being as Utah water seems to have a lot of minerals in it. How do I tell which Merc drive I have being all the stickers on it are so faded you can't read them?
Post a picture of the drive. Yes if it's all white and chalky you need a shower. That's from the water boiling on the drive.It's the stream and left over deposits. Make sure your changing your drive oil regularly also if it's like that.

When I got the boat I couldn't figure out why the drive would be so white just thought it was water spots that the prev.owner never took care of but after reading this i'm pretty sure I know what it is. I'll change the drive oil before I take it out this spring. What is best mineral or synthetic?....that should start a Ford vs Chevy type discussion ;-}. What weight of oil?

Just use toilet bowl gel cleaner to clean/wash it first. Most of it all come off. May have to use a soft brush.
No debating oil or trucks on this site.lol. We use Mercedes AMG, Bmw, Dodge, Ford,Chevy,hybrid dodge things to pull 263's just for you A7 :-) we don't care as long as it makes it to the lake and we get the boat wet. Thats all that counts on here:-)

Ever wonder what the plural is for Toyota’s Prius? It’s been something of a gray area to our copy editors, and now that there’s a Prius V, a plural word for the vehicle could come in handy.

Before we could make up our minds, Toyota decided today that the plural form is “Prii” (pronounced PREE-eye). That decision was the result of a marketing campaign in which Toyota asked the public about the plural possibilities: “Prius,” “Priuses,” “Prii,” “Priem,” or “Pri.”

“Prii” received 25%. “Prius” came in a close second with 24%.
I guess it's official? :lol:
