If you operate your boat in consistent temperatures, choose a single-weight oil (e.g. SAE 30). If you operate your boat in a wider temperature range, select multi-viscosity oils (e.g. SAE 10W-30). They behave like thin oils in cold weather, making it easier to crank the engine.

What kind of oil does Mercury search and rescue use?
Mercury is playing it safe by requiring the 25 weight oil. Our Coast Guard Search and Rescue diesels used 40 weight high detergent oil up in Ketchikan, but we had block heaters on them because we did not have time to warm them up.
What kind of oil do you use on a trolling boat?
Change the oil often is better than all the paper warranties. 20W50 will work fine in most trolling boats, but Straight 30W will have slightly higher oil pressure (hot) at Idle! Approx 3 to 5# more. That’s where you need it! The biggest positive change would be to use a specific additive at change time.
