As boat newbies this channel is a treasure trove! Thank you :)

[kenfrazier]

finally a normal person that speaks in gallons, keep it up please

[AndresHernandez-dekg]

Thank you so much for the information, I was looking at different videos and no one explained it better thank you God bless you

[marianwhitcomb]

I like the bell...lol...maybe because I am a Bell, giggle...maybe a bit of a ding-a-ling. Thanks for this, I am dyslexic and HUGE math anxiety...I am always thankful at this time of year for surviving my taxes, because I feel the whole time I am working on them as if I am having a heart (or at least a serious anxiety) attack.

I was mixing gas and oil for the lawnmower and for my 5 1?2 HP Johnson outboard at age 11.My father told me it was ok if the machine smoked a little as that told us there was oil enough in the gas.I used to kart the lawnmower about the neighbourhood mowing lawns for customers.I made money enough to pay for the lawnmower and to buy an 8 ft plywood boat for the 5 1/2 outboard. Todays 2 strokes more sensitive to accuracy in mixing I think! CHEERS from Canada

[mrmark]

That was so helpful, I've been finding it hard reading the instructions and putting it all together. Thank you

[nortonissac]

Thanks for the video, didn't know the oil ratio on my 1976 Evinrude outboard 😅 I bought that bottle. HUGE Help, now I'm heading to the lake 😊

[mikeingeorgia]

Good advice about marking the fuel cans. That mixing bottle is very handy

[customsightsound]

Another useful tip: After finishing your trip. Disconnect your fuel line from your engine. Run the engine at idle without the fuel line attached until the engine dies. Running all the fuel out of the engine will help keep the engine from being gummed up by the stagnant fuel/oil mixture between uses. Also if you have extra fuel in the gas can or tank. Add a fuel stabilizer (read label; appropriate for 2-stroke mixed gas), it isn't necessary for a week or two, but anything beyond 3 weeks should have fuel stabilizer added. Fuel stabilizer is added per the amount of gas so read the instructions and follow per the instructions such as you do when determining the correct amount of oil per gallon.

Best video I’ve seen thank you so much 😊

[kellyrw]

Wayne I am so glad I came across your video because I am a first-time boat owner and I have been mixing my oil to fuel ratio totally wrong in my engines been running poorly I am glad I came across this video I thank you very much and I'm also going to order one of those ratio bottles did you have in your video once again thank you very much and I'm glad I came across this video keep up the good work

[CTRadventures]

Thanks! I just bought my first bass boat the 88 ranger v 393 it has the original 87 Johnson V6 150. The boat came with 2 20 gal tanks, which I am not going to every fill full at one time haha these gas prices are crazy, but I was really concerned about the math part, the old man I bought the boat from gave me a water bottle for the oil and said 1 water bottle (1 pint) per 3 gal. This is going to make it so much easier. Brand new to boating, so you got yourself anew subscriber!

[pierrepatry]

Thank you Wayne. Ordered a bottle on Amazon. 👍

[HWPcville]

Informative video. Thanks. It would be handy if the mixing bottle didn't have such a sharp shoulder below the lid. If it sloped more it would be easier to get every drop out. Thanks for posting!

[moonrocketeer]

Thank you so much….I just ordered the oil, and the measuring bottle from your link.

[davevs]

thanks from down under and a kiss from the misses

[OBC-radio]

We downsized from an I/O to a 15’ runabout with 50hp Evinrude for ease of towing, storage and simple maintenance. My fiancé was very hesitant about a 2 stroke, thank you for making this video to help me explain just how easy pre-mixing is.

[customsightsound]

One simple tip. After adding the proper amount of 2-stroke oil to the measurement container. Poor gas from the gas can the oil will be going into in the measurement container, close the lid of the measurement container and premix the gas and oil. This will make sure you get all the oil out of the measurement container and will not leave excess oil in the container. This will also greatly help with the distribution of the oil within the larger volume of gas when added back into the gas can. Make sure you still shake your gas can right after you add your oil (premixed oil) into your gas can. Proper distribution of the oil within the gas is as important as adding the correct amount of oil.
