You don't have to add any oil to the motor itself. All 2 stroke motors use the oil that is mixed with the gas for lubrication.

How much horsepower? The serial number will tell you for sure. How many cylinders does it have? This is not absolute but 3 cylinders were from 70 to 90 HP. 4 cylinders are 120 or 125 HP. Depends on year and rating method (crank or prop HP).

From your post, it appears that you are not too familar with non oil injected 2 stroke engines. I suggest that you purchase a Clymer manual on Force engines. This will help to educate you regarding their operation and maintenance.

There is a FAQ and some stickys on this forum that you should read before going out with your boat.

I just bought the EXACT same boat. Mine has the 90 on the back.. Its mixed gas/oil at a 50:1 ratio.

So for every 20 L can you fill, mix it with 400ml of 2 stroke outboard oil

I believe the Colonial measure is roughly 3 oz to the gallon.
