i'm still running the oil injection on my 94 merc(1400 hrs), but i carry a extra gallon of oil and at the first hint of a horn or hiccup i dump it in the gas tank. the bad thing is usually the first indication you have is a seized engine. i was talking to a engine re-builder at the miami boat show about 10 years ago and he said the 2 best things for his business is oil injection & thermostats.

your engine, by being run on a regular basis, is probably less likely to fail than my freinds 150s, both of these engines have set for a while without being used. I once worked on the water taxi's 150 yamahas, I replaced the original impellers in them at 2000( 2 years old) hours, they get run every day, and except for some wear on the tips, they were still flexiable
