I have lurked on this forum for awhile and I am in need of some advice. I bought a small fishing boat last week and in my excitement to get it on the water and go fishing I forgot to mix the oil in with the gas. I fueled up my Mercury 1100 and hit the water (completely forgot to add oil). Engine did not run the best (never overheated but did not achieve optimal performance) man am I in idiot!!! Anyways did I do any damage to the motor? Thanks

The only answer for you at this point is. Run it again with the correct mix . If it runs ok you didnt hurt it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but if it dont you did. Hope this helps

A compression test would tell you something too.
