I tell ya 82Rude,I wish I could get my hands on a new 25hp yamaha,they run smooth as silk,not that I don't love my merc,I just rather have new. Finding a mint flawless 25-30hp 2 stroke outboard is so,so hard to find in my area(FL). I know their around but not easy to find or find someone trustworthy that's selling one.

My brother has a older 15 Yamaha and its still a great runner and that's a huge testament to Yamaha if you knew my brother.Maybe amazon can drone you one over from aussie land.

We have some for sale in fl but they are asking rediculous prices,like $3k for a 8-10 yr old outboard. If I'm spending $3k,I'm buying a 2017 25hp 4 stroke Suzuki hands down the best 25hp all around on the market imo.

My oil experience has only involved two oils. Royal purple fully synthetic oil @ 50:1 and Pennzoil Semi-Syn 50:1. The smoke is equal between the two but the smell and cost are not. The RP had a terrible smell to it as it burns (really the wrong oil for a pre-mix carbed outboard), and burned your eyes in the driveway. The pennz gives off a sweet smell.

Regardless they both would smoke for 30-45 seconds on first fire of the day. and for 5-10 seconds on restart. Other then that, no smoke visible during running while on the water.

In a pre-mix situation, do not waste the cash on synthetic. The semi-synthetics do a great job at keeping the cost,smoke,carbon down while giving you great protection. I would run synthetic in any direct injection, fuel injected etc engine as it is a precised metered system.

I agree with Jim and 82Rude about the Evinrude oil, I have heard they are amazing oils for outboards. XD30 is cheapest, XD50 would be ideal. Bringing an empty jug to a dealer will net you around $25 for XD30 and $35 for XD50. You will still see smoke with these premium oils on a carbed outboard.

I recommend a decarbon via dunks method and a switch to pennzoil semi synthetic 50:1.

xd-30=conventional dino oil.xd-50=semi synthetic.xd-100=full synthetic.One motor removed and a few years ago I used green earth technologies G-OIL,smelled like a French fry wagon.Worst or bad part was everybody out on the lake would follow me around asking for fries and burgers,lol.P.S the motor loved that oil.

If I'm spending $25-$35 on non synthetic or semi synthetic why not just buy the royal purple or pennzoil full synthetic for the same price. You said it keeps the cost down,I pay $30-$35 for each of my oil I just mentioned so I will stick to it. Once I'm out of the royal purple then I have 5 gallons of pennzoil full synthetic oil I purchased already so that is what I'm going to use and at a 60:1 oil ratio. I love the smell of the pennzoil full synthetic oil,smells like play dough,lol. The royal purple does smell horrible but I like it so far. I may switch over to amsoil in time,if not I have my guy on ebay I get as much full synthetic oil from pennzoil I want for $35 a gallon shipped to my door. Why pay $35 for semi synthetic when I can get full synthetic for the same price and lubricates much better,I will stick to that.

I used to use the super tech oil and it was superb oil,never an issue. Now that is $13 a gallon which is really cheap for a good quality oil. It's non synthetic but I did use it for 10+yrs and it worked well.

 

[boater1234]

Also from what I have read,most semi synthetic oil has very little synthetics in it,like 10% so is it really that much better having only 10%? I don't know so this is a real legit question I'm asking,if it's truly only 10% or so will it protect that much better than conventional tcw 3 oil? .

 

[boater1234]

I just did allot of reading on the 100:1 saber pre mix amsoil and what makes it so good is the film strength, plus u can run it at 80:1 if you don't feel comfortable at the 100:1 ratio. It says do not run it any richer than 75:1 it says because it defeats the purpose of the oil film being so strong. It says you can run any 50:1 on the 100:1 saber oil and never have issues. In the long run that would save u a ton of money on oil if what they claim is correct. That is very interesting to say the least. Iay give it a shot at 75:1 as that would save me an astronomical amount of money in the long run on oil.
