OK, I've skippered my big boat for awhile and feel pretty good about my
knowledge on her, but when I boat a used tender that came with this
1996 9.9 Evinrude (my first tender), I realized, I don't know jack
about these things. Like are they 2 or 4 strokers?

Look at the gas cap...it will give an oil to gas ratio if it is a 2 stroke.
If it has a dipstick in an oil pan it is a 4 stroke.

Most likely it is a 2 stroke.
