85hp L Drive '89 Bayliner Capri - oil/gas mix?

[JMaxx]

hello all, I just got a bayliner capri with 85hp L Drive. This is my first boat and marine stuff is foreign to me. I assumed it has oil injection but don't see a resevoir etc. Do I need to mix the gas/oil? if yes, what's the best oil to use and mix ratio?

Thanks!

No oil injection. 50-1 TCW-3.

When first introduced, many people thought that because the engine was inboard it was like a 4 cycle engine and did not require oil in the gas. A good number were destroyed this way.

And never assume-- it makes A** You and Me

50:1

2.6 ounces of oil per gallon of gas.

Any brand of TCW3 rated oil.
