My boat requires pre-mix 2-stroke gas at a 50:1 ratio. I have put it away for the winter, and, like I would do with my motorcycles, I filled the tank completely, including stabilizer and Amsoil HP Marine oil.
I got to thinking, though -- is it possible for the 2-stroke oil to fall out of suspension? Will I not have a proper mix come spring and end up running with too little oil? Should I have waited until the spring to add the oil to the gas so the mix was fresh? I was worried I would forget to add the oil then ...
For what it's worth, the boat will at least be towed a few miles before I start it, so it might help bounce around some of that stuff...
Thanks in advance!
