1. Oil changes seem easy enough with drain line. (Sure will beat sucking out from dipstick!). Previous owner used K&N oil filter, so planning to use the same. Manual calls for Pennzoil Marine 15w40. Wondering which synthetic others are running now in 2016?
2. Boat has ZF 45 transmission and appears to currently have Pennzoil Dexron-III Mercon fluid. Any new recommendation for different ATF... and is there a drain bolt? Also, the boat manual says to clean the transmission oil strainer screen yearly. Uh, anyone have info on how to do that?
3. Z-drive fluid change advice?
4. Impellar seems straight forward. (Minus pulling that sucker out!)
5. Does everyone just clean their K&N air filter yearly with the recommended products from K&N?
