If you have to have Amsoil, honestly any of them will be fine.
I wouldn't worry too much about the TCW-3 as any engine in your ski with a powervalve is going to be pricy so you should be fogging at the end of the day anyways. Unless that is you really don't care about your engine enough to fog but then you really shouldn't care about an expensive oil either, LOL.

Did you read this thread?
Klotz tcw3 and jaso fd
So my seadoo 800 calls for an api tc jaso fd oil. They say not to use tcw3, because it can’t hold up to the heat. Klotz skicraft says it’s a tcw3 and jaso fd oil. Can I use that? It also says safe for rave valves.

Yes, but no matter how much you Brapp, there will still be some water in the exhaust, then....
Did you read this other thread?
Klotz skicraft smell
I’m probably gonna run klotz skicraft in my new Krash foot rocket. And my other vintage skis. Can you really smell the oil when riding all day. I know I can on my dirtbike. Because obviously smell makes power!

There was another thread to check out too...
Amsoil dominator...
Anyone run Amsoil dominator in their skis? Anyone use it with skis that have power valves? I’m worried about rust since it isn’t a tcw3. Would it be fine to use in saltwater? Do y’all fog you engine after riding everytime? Or am I better off with Amsoil hp marine? I’m worried the hp marine won’t...

Just mix 40wt oil with your gas and call it a day.

Asmoil interceptor is for PV engines. We use both HP, and interceptor.
Can hp be used on pvs? I called Amsoil and they said it would be just fine to use with power valves

Ran an 1100 about 60 hrs last season on supertec. Looked better than my buddies 1000 at 30 hrs on amsoil. Change from 2t to tcw3 after talking to oil analysis company.
I get redline for free from work. I still choose supertec because it's corrosion protection is far superior.

Did you call a Rep or a Tech line?.... Says right on the bottles: Interceptor is for Power Valve motors and Dominator is for NON Power valve. Both are rated higher than TC-W3.
Dominator says it can be used for exhaust pvs. I have a gallon of dominator. And tcw3 is the main spec for marine engines. Tcw3 is ashless. It burns cleaner than a low ash oil. I was wondering if it just offered enough protection. After talking to a bunch of people, hp marine sounds like the best choice for me. I run dominator in the bikes

Protection is relative. Conventional absolutely offers better corrosion protection. It's been proven many times. Synthetic is on the fence. It seems to be able to handle heat better, and possibly slightly higher lubricity. I feel like corrosion does more damage from sitting, than the heat of a properly tuned engine.
Fwiw a ton of people told me I'd blow my dasa up if I ran supertec. I saw absolutely no change in wear going from synthetic redline to supertec. So take it all with a grain of salt. Most engine failures are a direct result of operator error. Not oil brand.

Yeah that’s true. I’m gonna stick with the hp marine, but are you still running super tech? How are the power valves? Just wondering
The ash is the high heat detergent package. It forms a dry barrier that carbon wont stick to. It is seldom a problem in watercraft engines, at worst it may cause a fouled plug. I'm on my fourth 5/gal pail of Maxima Super M which has a low ash package and have not fouled a plug yet. Common TCW3 performs nearly identically in waterctaft as far as cleanliness is concerned. These two oils perform much differently in small air cooled engines, the TCW3 turns to black gunk.
