Thank you so much for sharing really appreciate seeing the old girl slicing thru the water just a pleasure watching thanks again for your time it's appreciated keeping coming we will keep enjoying!
My channel deals with the later bigger hp motors when mercury wanted to take the bigger is badder and when the climb to hp dominance was everything. Your right these were a pain to work on. But like most of mercurys stuff cutting-edge engineering was a thing for the times. I will never get why the first inlines were direct drive with a pull start. So many men overboard 😅
What's the gas mix ratio? I have an old Johnson that's 16:1 but I wonder if you could safely run a little less oil with the quality of these newer oils. Too scared to test out my theory though, haha.
I wouldn't risk it if I were you. I'm pretty sure those powerheads WERE NOT needle & roller bearings until much later. They were still using the sintered bronzed / brass babbit type. Even with today's more advanced oils... I wouldn't risk using less oil due to those babbit bearings. 😢

if its a plain bearing engine with plain bearings on the crank end of the connecting rods stick to the mix they need the oil to survive
