Premix or leave it stock.

I'm on the fence as to what to do. I have the block off plates, but not 100% sure I want to go to premix due to the amount of oil I will need to mix with 40 gallons of fuel and 1 gallon of PWC oil. Advise please.

New to this seen and it looks like the oil lines on the motors look stock and still have white paint on them. The rest look replaced at sometime. I've never owned a boat, and just want to be careful and not blow the motors due to a lack of maintenance from the pervious owners. Hell Saturday will be the first time I've drove the boat. I did a compression test and all cylinders we're at 155-158psi.

Or should I just get new feed lines that are the small ones on the engine? If so does anyone have a part number to order them?
Thanks

Just replace the small 3/32” Tygon oil lines from the pump to the intake, the oil filter and verify only API/TC oil is used and enjoy the oil savings for another 20 years.

Thanks, does anyone know the part numbers for the small lines? I don't have a Seadoo place close

I have the same boat and the oil injection had been neglected by the PO, I can't even begin to describe how bad premixing a boat sucks, a modded ski makes sense and isn't that bad, but the boat is a different story. I used 4 gallons of oil last summer, and that added up quick. I will be in the oil injection club soon.

Thanks, I'm staying with my set up also..screw the premix.

Just got it into the lake and within 2 minutes I realized I had a broken throttle cable to the left engine..return is good but the forward is snapped off at the adjustment area..ugh
