I just purchased a 16" pontoon boat that is equipped with a 1988 Mariner 9.9hp 2 cyl., 2 stroke. The owner had lost the manual for the engine and I have ordered a Seloc service manual. In the mean time, I am looking for any information on this motor such as oil/gas mix ratio, any maintance or things I should check before I get it out, .......? This ius my first boat so any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks All!!!

gas is 50-1 6 gallons gas to 16 ounces oil. use tcw 3 outboard oil. if it has been a while since this motor has been run, watch the water flow, as the impeller (cooling water pump) could go out. take a paddle.

Thanks for the info tashasdaddy! What is tcw 3? Is it possible to check the impeller on the water pump?
