i changed the oil with the 424 and did see some improvement, not 100 percent though. the 424 says its 30w but it doesn’t look or feel like conventional 30w motor oil

tony, i looked into the 424 oil to find out more about it, it states in the mobil description, that it can be effective on the symptoms of “wet brake” and chatter, which i assume is what were talking about here? a call to a twin disc dealer here found for the most part it meets required spec except one, I don’t have that spec in front of me now , but can get it if your interested. Twin Disc dealer told me that you must be careful not to use  certain oils   such as ATF, that can degrade seals and clutches causing failure. Can you tell me more about it and your use of it in this application

thanks tony , i just have to be careful when there is a line going under the boat, even with the full keel. i’ll try the oil, its too much work to take it out of the boat to take apart again , its more of an annoyance than anything

great info on here and great service purchasing items online

Is there a way to get notifications from a reply on this forum to my email?

I am thinking, correct me if i’m wrong ,  considering the history, the selector valve is leaky or a problem with the troll valve .

yes, i’ve been lucky with the 507 for a long time it is solid. i repowered my lobster boat , had a 71a 350 to a 74p 480 @ 2600, gear had 20,000hrs and was out of the boat, so i figured it was a good time. total tear down by a local guy i’ve used for years, new clutches and whatever else it needed, its been 2 yrs now i don’t recall

dragging forward, try to find nuetral at the gear with shift lever is unsuccessful, i can’t get the troll valve to work either, though it does show 75 psi when engaged, but does not slow the output, its 275psi with the troll off , could there be a problem with the troll valve that is causing the drag?  never overheated the gear
