I have an '89 Evinrude 8hp. The manual says to run 50:1 when used under high speed operations or when used infrequently.
It also says I can run it at 100:1 when used at lower speed or when used frequently.
I have it on a 14' Lund, it won't get the boat on step, so the high speed operation is out. Its used as a trolling motor.
I'd like to cut some smoke and run it at 100:1. The only thing keeping me from doing the 100:1 is that apparently after a few years the 100:1 recommendation was dropped.
So,with strictly low speed operation,would you run it at 100:1?
If not 100:1,maybe something less than 50 but more than 100?
