If the engine is still under warranty I would stick to whatever is recommended by the manufacturer ; otherwise don't cheap out, use the best possible oil you can get and that applies to 4 and 2 stroke engines.

When I race motorbikes “pro”. Kawasaki gave me an my teammate identical new bikes (600cc) in 2009. I ran “amsoil” full synthetic for the full season and buddy ran semisynthetic for the full season.
End of year tear down was amazing. My engine was shiney and new with some “tan” on the aluminum valve-train. Rings perfect gap, rods clean, really tight and clean motor. The other engine was still “ok” but sooty and needed guides, seats, and piston-slap that was “borderline” and retainers etc.
After that year… I swear by full synthetic and gooooood quality oil. It was pretty cool to see the difference. Not sure it ties into boat motors at all but for high raving 4 cylinders it was day and night.

Hi guys.
Just info:
Who makes motor oil in USA?
Market share of motor oils in fast lubes in the United States in 2018, by company
Where is Mercury or Quick Silver refinery?
More them 20 years using automotive oil and never problem, better use high quality synthetic....
Mercury oil producer: Citgo Petroleum Corporation - just one of many average companies, not top of the world....

When I pulled out of the Clarkson Petro Canada refinery there was was a HUGE list of oils that all came out of the same rack.
At a number of packaging plants, those same tankers lined up in one line, vans filled to capacity with MT bottles and caps in another all to sync up at the bottling lines. LOL
I expect some differences in the blends and additives but they were all from PC base oils.
