If your in doubt that it's pumping oil it is wise to premix the fuel (if the boat has a built in tank, pick up a 6 gallon external tank for this test).

Since it will now be running on premix for this test, the worst case scenario is you will be over oiling the engine. Now mark the oil tank and run the engine for a given period of time. If the oil pump it working, the oil level will drop...

I sure other's will chime in on how much it should drop but this should at least get you going...

Good luck...

You should use about a pint for every six gallons you burn. Mark a line on the tank, youll see it drop.
Based on your other post youve got bigger problems. You are more likely to blow a cylinder from a gummed up carb. Bad oil injection does not blow just one cylinder, it wiipes all of them out.
