On a typical Seadoo four stroke oil change you get three quarts out,it holds five,I think it would be an improvement.If I ever own one it will have a drain hose.

Absolutely.
Or a couple (or more) of them T-ed to be able to drain everything in one shot.

Looks like I better patent custom aftermarket oil change kits.
Full covergae insurance on my skis is looking better and better! Just think of the scenario: "I just tossed a rod on my 10k + motor" Mr. Insurance man, I need some money cause my pole ski died yesterday in the ocean....:sad:

that was (maybe not anymore) a factory option on the earlier nautiques....
My parents have a 1983 Ski Nautique 2001......When they first got it I thought the oil drain line was the coolest thing ever
Don't forget to include my name in the patent application... :veryhappy:

lets get this right
4strokes dont have more torque
they just make the engine bigger to give it a torque advantage over the smaller two stroke
Yes if you tio a 4 stroke upside down then oil will go every where and sit u in the rocker gear or in the hollow of the pistons
sure you can try and put some fancy valaving in there to try and stop it but you cant overcome gravity
you can use forced induction on a four joke to giveit more hp but can you say thermal shock when the water hits the hot turbo housing
and do you want the turbo lag in the surf
i have seen some one try and race a hydro in 1 meter surf , it was not pretty
If some one convinces you that a four stroke is good in the surf then i have some land i wish to sell you , going cheap as well

Why worry about oil going all over the place if the ski flips over ?
By the time you swim to the ski that heavy a$$ 4 joke will have pulled it down to Davey Jones's locker.

it's a weed eater motor but it can spin upside down and run without loosing oil. the design is what i was trying to point out, not the displacement of it...lol
The airplane engines run upside down with no problems. :Banane19:

no chit sherlock, but this motor doesn't have an oil resevoir that would need to be changed after a swamping. it just a cool new design 4 stroke motor, gotta get stihl to build us a nice 4-mix inline 600cc+ motor.

you know it, like the backward edging wrist flip.
Premix only means that there is no real dedicated lubrication system in that motor. You will have to rebuild it as often as a 2-stroke. Or even more often because of the greater quantity of moving parts in need of real 100% oil lubrication.
Honestly, I don't see anything cool about that engine.
