Oil Consumption

Carl_B · 05-06-2009, 12:53 PM

I have a Mariner 200hp on a R20 Engine has a header tank and remote oil tank fitted in the boat. I was wondering how much oil the tank holds (guess that depends on size of tank) and how much is the average 2 stroke oil consumption per gallon is with these engines. Im sure one of the tech gurus on here will know.

If I was you i'd remove the oil pump and pre mix, the plastic oil pump drive is prone to failure then your engines toast.
