I usually put 11 qts in. I am running a big oil filter.

I usually run them with eight or nine quarts in them. Just so the oil touches the end of the dip stick. Jet boat motors set in the boat at an angle with the front of the motor slightly up. Add to that every time you run the boat, the nose lifts more yet. This has a tendency to put too much oil at the back of the engine when there are 10 or more quarts in the engine and makes the crankshaft run in heavy oil all the time. This can cause whipping and other problems such as oil leaks around crank seals and pan gaskets. Eight quarts are enough to run the engine on.

Good Advice! I run about 2 quarts less then what the pan holds for the same reasons.

I always ran 9 quarts. Some for the filter. Either way as long as you are registering on the stick your good.
