Default Mercury Thruster fuel mixture

Hi there, i have a Thruster by Mercury Marine. From what i have been able to find out its a 2HP, 2 stroke made in korea. Can anyone tell me what sort of oil/fuel mixture i should be running in this?Thanks a lot!-Jeremy

Thanks.Yeah, the only thruster models mentioned on mercurys website are electric motors. I have managed to find something on another site that talked about a 2hp 2 stroke thruster and included the serial number range on this motor. It didnt have any information about fuel mixture though.From the FAQ's page they seem to mention about a 50:1 ratio, should this be okay?Cheers

I wonder if Yamaha makes those Mariner cars for them. Is it amphibious?50:1 is pretty standard. Sounds like good advice.
