I believe, and just for the record, that Ocean Pro is Evinrude : Ocean Runner is Johnson

Thanks guys.

Your right my mistake Ocean Runner not Pro. It's surprising that a motor ten years newer than the 235 I currently have only weighs 36 lbs less.


The reason I was asking is that I decided not to rebuild my 235 and found a good deal a on a nice used one instead. I was hoping to shed more weight in the process though. But for $1600.00 with a 4 bladed stainless steel propeller, hydraulic steering cylinder , VRO tank and harness, I not going to argue.

Sounded like a great deal til ya got to the VRO tank...clean it out REEL good and make a fish-bowl outta it...anything but don't use it for it's designed and intended use ...no kiddin'...if ya want that motor to last, pre-mix that oil/gas and trash that VRO system ;) ;D ...

No worries. A new VRO on its way. I agree premixing is the safe way to go but to much smoke for me when trolling :(

I've always had good luck with VROs on the engines I had up to now. Installing a new VRO pump will give me the comfort factor I'm looking for.

Is not the 3 years you have had, it the one time that the pump or something else isn't working! Thats when the motor goes boom and having a VRO pump isn't so important anymore cause there is no motor.

If you have a motor with a VRO still with warranty then you are the only one!!

They make oil injection still, but the old VRO's are no longer made.

my mechanic told me the same thing disconect it he said cause one day its just gonna stop

as I remember back in the early 90's I had a 15 ft whaler super sport with a 60 hp comerical evinrude and it had the vro built in the tank and it just stopped working and it cost me 1100.00 to get motor rebuilt :(
