Hi everyone. I just picked up a boat with a merc 50hp. The serial number is 05797606. I am having a hard time finding specs on it and I really dont know anything about it. The guy I got it from said its a 4 stroke but im thinking he is incorrect. And if it doesnt have a seperate oil reservoir, than what mix should I put in it. Thanks in advance for any help. I am a beginner here so please bear with me.

It was built in 1980 -1981. It is a 2 stroke 4 cylinder. I wouldn't use the tank if it had one. I like to know the mix is correct. A pint to 6 gallons. Can't get much easier than that.
