Please identify the engines you are talking about.

Johnson/Evinrude used to offer an inline device called AccuMix. I don't know if it's still available. You might be able to find a used unit at eBay. Also check with dealers. Most have taken such units off and set them in a corner to collect dust by now. Mercury had a unit called AutoBlend, and Merc dealers probably have stacks of them lying around, if they haven't been tossed. They had a bad rep.

basically no. the above mentioned mixers ruined a lot of engines. if the kicker has a separate oil tank,(oil injected or vro type) like some of the older small hondas, you could do it.

Some older kickers have built in tanks. You may want to investigate that if your problem is the space for another tank.

I think taking the other tank is the best idea
