I just don't want to f-up my EFI engine. It's got 128lbs of compression across the board, and so far sounds EXCELLENT! But I haven't had a chance to run it on the water yet :(, but hopefully soon :-*.

if your fixing the boat up for resale, leave the oil injection on, if your keeping it for yourself, ditch it and premix. If you ever have to go into the engine( like your "rering job"), replace the gears with new one and put the oil injection back on

If resale, I agree, but just DON'T run it ... my friend's 200 fried when the plastic gear Skools mentioned went out ... his Merc Tec looked for metal replacement and could not find...my cut at auto-oilers is this; if it ain't under warranty, DISCONNECT it ... mixin's not bad at all w/ one of those mixin' bottles $3.99 at most dealers and I thinkl Wally-World has one ... ;) ...
