Assuming your 60's Jonnyrude is built as well as a late 40's Merc (and it
prolly is) 50/1 outta be fine with todays oils.

Yes, the 9.5 is all needle bearings. I use 1 pint in a 5 gallon poly can
and top it off for a total of 5.7 or 5.8 gallons so it is a little rich. At
the cost of outboards today, I'll put up with a little smoke screen to save
the big bucks. I wouldn't run any outboard on 100/1, though. 50/1 is a lot
safer.
