Greetings all,

Question 1,

I am running Amsoil Sabre 100 Outboard at the 80:1 ratio. Do you feel
this is any real advantage over the OMC 50:1 factory oil? I would consider
longer engine life an advantage if it is a reality. Cleaner running, with
less fouling if that is true. Anyone see any real differance?

80:1? That's way lean for an engine of that age and hp.

Or at least I would think so.

Question 2,
Whenever I am finished boating for the day, I always remove the fuel line
from the engine and idle the engine until it dies. This is mainly to prevent
raw fuel from slopping around when I trailer the boat home with the engine
tilted fully up. Am I harming the engine do to one or two cylinders running
out of fuel/oil mix prior to the engine coming to a complete stop?

There are two schools of thought on this. I'm in the just shut it off
camp. Others believe differently.

I don't believe that there is any definitive evidence for one way or
the other.
