I recently purchased a boat with a 1994, 90 hp, oil injected Mercury 2-stroke.
This is the first 2-stroke motor I have ever owned and I am looking for advice from the experts here on how to best take care of it and extend its lifespan.
The engine has 380 hours on it and seems to run very well. I previously had the exact same brand and model boat with a Honda 90 on it and the Mercury certainly pushes the boat along with a LOT more punch and authority, although it comes bundled with a lot more smoke and vibrations too.
What is the very best 2-stroke oil to use with this engine? The previous owner used Yamalube and a gallon of it came with the boat.
What are your favorite additives for 2-strokes, that you would recommend to keep the engine clean and running at its best?
Thanks!
