Just Picked up a brand new 2022 165 with the 300 Rotax yesterday. Took it out for a shake down at my local lake (1.5 hours from the dealer). This morning as I was just in the garage wishing it were the weekend I noticed the Coolant take was almost at the low limit.

I looked in the Rotax Manual and it says to use BRP 460835 coolant. All I can seem to find is BRP 779150. Does anyone know what the difference in the two is? I have tried to look but am coming up short on answers.

Thank in advance. I am working on putting up pictures of the new boat.

Did you contact the dealer? Tell them you noticed it's low. Maybe they'll give you some.

Finally heard back from my dealer. They say that those two part numbers are the same thing. One is for a Rotax "Installed in a Boat" and the other is for a Rotax "Installed in a Jet Ski".....weird but ok.
And they also said that any Orange DexCool is fine to use. "Save some money and but it at Napa".

I figured this was the case....but with 0 Hours still showing on the boat I didn't feel like I could be too over cautious.....
