Depends..On if its a C115 or not? The commercial version does not have a oil tank and you have to pre-mix. I personally like the C115.<br /><br />Ask your dealer which one it is.<br /><br />The Yammie 115 is a very good engine.. My thoughts only!

lol how the heck do you mix fuel for a 60 gallon tank ?? do you just pour the correct amount of oil in and hope it mixes when you put the gas in ??

Normally, for a 50:1 ratio, it's 1 quart of oil per 6 gallons of gas.

Make sure you make good use of the warranty. At the slightest suspecion - call the dealer. The warranty is a way to ensure you get the most for your money - and God knows, it'll leave a hole in your wallet if you have to pay for it yourself. Do not hesistate as the dealer in his turn sends the bill to the importer ~ factory.<br /><br />There should be no problems if stored in a showroom or alike. The dealer is the right point for you to get all info (and original manuals etc. etc.) regarding both boat, equipment and motor.<br /><br />A friend has one of these and is very happy with it. Good value on performance/consumption. Never missed a beat.
