I would like opinions from you boat wizards familiar with Zen and
outboards.

My Nissan 3.5 drives my small Portaboat around nicely but its user manual
and the label on the fuel tank disagree. The manual tells me to use 25:1
fuelil ratio and the label says 50:1. I've been running 25:1 because
it's what I saw first. I don't notice significant smoke and haven't had it
long enough to foul the plug yet.

Any ideas on which way is best or whether this is even a subject worth
discussing? Thanks.

I would guess that during breakin 25-1 and using the new TCW3 oil after
breakin (not so new now) 50-1.
