It is 50:1. All Johnsons from 1964-up are 50:1. Except the four strokes and oil-injected ones. So believe it already.

If you're using the 6+ gallon tanks like I am for a '75 70HP Evinrude, the 50:1 ratio works out to a pint of two cycle oil to six gallons of gasoline.

Exact values are 2.56 ounces oil to each gallon (128 ounces).
6 gallons times 2.56 oz per gallon equals 15.36 ounces for the full tank.

Hope that helps...

Sure. But nobody goes to that extreme. Dump in a pint can of oil and fill 'er up with gas. Or 1/3 of your wife's measuring cup to a gallon. Sneak the cup into the dishwasher before she finds out.

Have one and love it... I fill three 5-gallon gas cans at a time, and pour my oil from a 1-gallon jug. Fill the measure bottle, pour into gas can, fill gas can with gas. Done!

Oh, and I use 50:1! <---- That's #5 BTW.
