I don't hit curves and I try to avoid bumps and potholes as best I can.
Any advice on what oil to use in the four stroke MerCruiser 3.0 engine?


3 in 1 sewing machine oil.



That cast iron manifold in salt water will be worrisome enough.


Over-rated "problem". They last quite a few years and there are
millions of I/O's that spend their lives in salt water.

Eventually they will rust out and have to be replaced. Maintenance
issue, just like the exhaust system on a car or truck.
