Re: Injection or Pre mix?
I've pre-mixed on every outboard that I've had without a big hassle. Once you are used to it, you can judge closely enough to put in the initial correct amount and then adjust once you fill the tank. For example, I have a 25 Gal tank and if I get down to 1/4 tank, I figure I have about 6 or 7 gal left. That leaves me 18 or 19 Gal to add oil for. So I dump in 3 pints and go to filling. When it's full, I add enough oil until I have the correct mix. This, of course, comes with experience with your own boat. Rental fleets for years did the same thing. Always had to mix your own or let the dock folks do it for you. Just a note that my current Evinrude Motor did come with VRO, but I just couldn't stand not knowing if it was really working, so I elected to go back to the old way. Doesn't seem to tie me up any more than anyone else at the dock and when I hit that throttle, I know the engine is taken care of the best way I know how. It's a personal preference thing...
