i recently got a 1978 mako 17' center console with a johnson 115 outboard on it. is it possible to convert this to oil injection so i don't have to mix gas to put it in the tank which is 20 something gallons in the floor.

the conversion is easy in 3 easy conversion steps

step 1, sell what you have for small pile of cash
step 2, empty wallet and bank account onto small pile of cash and make the pile bigger
step 3, take pile of cash and buy the engine you want.

personally, if it was me, I would stick with the bullet proof simple motor you have and get a good estimate for how much fuel you have to add, then add that amount of oil prior to filling up. worst case, you have to add a bit of oil toward the end

Yes it is possible to convert it.----But not a wise move in my opinion.
