Oil Injection - Disconnect or Not

[steam_mill]

My brand new boat has been put away for the season. It is a 2003 90hp classic.<br /><br />I hope to keep this motor for the long run (30 years?) and was wondering about the oil injection. I've got 6 months left on warranty. <br /><br />Should I have the oil injection disconnected?<br /><br />Is there some way (besides religiously looking at the oil reservoir which I do) to know that failure is imminent or performance of the oil injection is sub-par?<br /><br />I use this boat every weekend and for a period of 4 weeks, every day for fishing.<br /><br />I have always pre-mixed with 6 gallon cans. Now I have a built in 20 gallon tank. I really like not pre-mixing.<br /><br />Opinions?

Re: Oil Injection - Disconnect or Not

I would keep it, as Merc oil injection is very reliable, especially the later models. I wouldn't worry about it!
