Re: keep the vro or premix

That would fall under the heading "Old Wives Tales".

It hasn't failed in 22 years. Why worry now?

The vast majority of such rumors has far more to do with owners neglecting to remove the drain plug, allowing rain to fill the boat enough to get into the oil tank. Or forgetting to put the plug in and nearly sinking the boat with the same result. It has far more to do with embarrasment than fact.
