Put oil in the tank and purge the line as per your factory service manual. Hook up the alarms (wire connections). Mark the oil level in the tank. Run pre-mix as you verify that oil is being used from the tank.<br /><br />Good luck!

You have to reconnect the oil hose to the VRO pump too.

Yes. Thats part of the purging process as well as properly securing the hose. Your manual will take you thru the proceedure step by step.<br /><br />Good luck!

If you really want the boat and engine to last you a long time, start off by getting a manual and following it like Dhadley suggested. You can order an after market manual right here from iboats or get the factory manual from: <br /> http://www.theoutboardwizard.bizhosting.com/parts_service_and_owners_manuals.html <br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

coanglertn,It is recommended that you mix 50:1 until you can verify oil reservoir usage after Vro has been put back in service.With a marker,trace the level line of oil on outside of reservoir.Guage the amount it dropped as compared to fuel consumption.If it is working you will be using twice the normal oil mix until verified.Maybe a bit smoky ,but well lubricated.
