Merc makes a special set of muffs for their motors that seem to work best. actually 2 pieces that have a rod & spring clip to pass thru the motor & hold them together. probably my imagination, but mine seems to run in more "in the water" mode that the conventional muffs. don't know if they are worth the expense, but you don't have to worry about them vibrating off while the motor is running..

Do you have a water pressure gauge? What does it say at idle and on plane?

Correct! Mixing oil is the only way to go. I also believe in a water pressure gauge. The tell tale stream only works to alert you of a problem if you happen to be looking that way. The water pressure gauge is the cheapest gauge on your console and can save you much money. I've had one on every motor since an ice bag was caught on my lower unit 45 miles offshore. The hot alarm went off seconds after a piston siezed.
