Hi.
My Wife and I just bought a 2002 Manitou Oasis pontoon boot. It came with a 2001 Johnson 70hp. I've ordered the User's guide, and repair manual for it. I admit to being a newbie with regards to this boat and motor. It appears to have a separate gas tank, and 'oil tank/reservoir'. We have a 69 Mercury on our other boat. I just mix the gas right in the tank - for our Merc: 50:1. But how does this work - on our new boat? Is the oil tank - and oil pump - that automatically mixes the oil and gas together? The gas in the gas tank - looks clear and normal. Not like in the gas tank of our Mercury - that contains the gas/oil mixture.
Please advise! Thanks!
