Default mixing gas and oil questions

i have a jetski and a boat with an evinrude 115 hp outboard. can
they both use the same gas/oil mix? someone told me it should be
a pint to six gallons but i would rather mix a pint with 5
gallons because it's easier and to be on the safe side if that's
ok. is a pint to 5 gallons ok for both the jetski and the
evinrude?

thanks!

Mix according to the engine manufacture's recommendations and use a
good quality 2-cycle oil that is rated for 'water cooled' engines.
They are designed for the heat factors which are different from weed
eaters and chainsaws.
