automatic oil systrm

[ranger0487]

I just bought a 93' Stratos with a 70hp Johnson on it. I was wondering if I could disconnect the automatic oil and just mix my gas. The reason is last year I had an Evinrude 40hp that I "think" the alarm was broken and didnt sound and I threw a rod thru the casing. Could someone please tell me the pros and cons of doing this, and if it is an easy job, if I do decide to disconnect.<br /><br />Thanks for any help or advice given.

The pros, and cons of doing this has prettly well been covered on this board. It is quite easy to disconnect the oil, and alarm system.

Thanks, I entered the question in the search topic and didnt see it, or I probably just over looked it. That was the only reason I posted the question. Sorry. There were so many different questions on so many different types of engines, that if some questions were not asked by mistake what would you have to reply to, junior Lt.

You might want to search for VRO. That should give you plenty of posts.

Thanks Dave F for your response, This will give me a place to start my search, since I am a new boater and had know idea what a VRO was, I was just entering questions and nothing was showing up.

Ranger0487, look in the FAQ forum. There's a couple of long articles on VRO, which seems to be a term used generically for various oiling systems.
