Default 4.3 Mercruiser

Drain whatever multi-grade oil the previous idiot put in and refill
w/straight HD 30wt. Report back.

I just bought a 18' Bryant BB180. The engine is a 4.3 mercruiser, the
boat is in perfect condition and it runs awesome. Once I take off and
get up on plane and get the trim up, my oil pressure wants to run low.
A mechanic told me that the motor is sucking up all the oil, and not
leaving any in the oil pan, resulting with low oil pressure. If you
have any idea on how to fix my problem, please respond or send me an
email. Thanks alot.
