Just put a '96 mercury 200 efi oil injection motor on my boat. From the oil tank I have two lines; one side labeled air and the other oil. Where do these hook up? I noticed a line coming from the oil resevoir on top of the motor and one going into the fuel pump. I'm assuming the line labeled air will hook up to the res on top of the motor. What about the oil? where does the fuel line connect? I took an 85 model merc motor off and can't find a place to "plug in" the old fuel line to the new motor. I wasn't sure if I need to put in a "T" in the line and connect the oil and fuel together before it enters the fuel pump. Any help would be great.

If you search the forum, I thing that somewhere on here there is a schematic of the lines. Other wise go over to the Whalers site and search there.
The air line probably goes to the small valve on the lower starboard side of the block. That puts about 2 psi air pressure into the boat oil tank and that pushes the oil up the engine tank. There is also a couple of 2 psi valves there also. The fuel line goes to the fuel pump and is blended on the way out to the injection/carb feed. This is one of things where an OEM manual really comes in handy and I sold mine afer my engine blew up.
