1995 yamaha 75 hp 2 stroke

What is the oil to gas ration on a 1995 yamaha 75 hp 2 stroke?
What kind of oil should i use. Synthetic or regular oil? I think previous owner used synthetic blend. Found old bottle in boat.
Just bought a 16' hewes with this engine. Cleaned it all up. Looks great, but don't know oil to gas ratio.
Anxiously awaiting a response.

I use the Pennzoil 100% Synthetic Outboard Motor Oil(Walmart $27/gallon) with great success, it's not cheap but smokes less and seems to produce less carbon. Use 2.6 ounces of oil per gallon of gas, which is 50/1 ratio. Install a fuel/water seperator(Walmart $27), easy 2 screw installation, will save you trouble with water, ethanol, debris in fuel system. Drain carbs float chambers a couple of times per year to remove any water or debris that may collect there. Clean, fresh fuel and you're pretty much home free on these motors! Good Luck!
