Yamaha's web site has owners manuals to 98' they say 25:1 during break in then 100:1. Personally I have an older Evenrude 6 horse that says 100:1 and I use 50:1 just to keeps things lubed good.

Here is what a mechanic at a Yamaha dealer stated. Prior to 1985 use 50:1 after use 100:1 unless you are working your motor extremely hard all the time than 50:1 for any year.

You can spot gray mare because part actually sticks out of the water. To get up to it at low tide you need a skinny boat, it gets about 2 ft or less. Another feature in that area are the bomb craters, my understanding is that area was used as a bombing test area back in WWII. Cruising through the ar...

Had to get on the water so I took the family, wife and daughter. Put in at 1:00 and it started to rain, put the bimini up and putted on the river hoping it would stop. After about an hour it quite raining and I convinced them to go. This is my daughters first time on the flats, first cast and first ...

Went to bellflower to get spline washers and asked them what they would do. He said put 2 screwdrivers behind the thrust washer and a rag on the housing and just pry on it, it ill pop. Worked perfect, couple prys and it popped right into my chest. I like the guys at Bellflower now that they have new...

The is a new boat to me, just trying to get everything into shape and make sure its all good. First issue so far, knock on wood.

Thanks for the suggestion Chalk. Went and got a gear puller, longest I could find. To short and even if it was long enough the ends that would go around the thrust washer would not have fit between the lower unit housing and the washer Try to find a different one tomorrow.

Pulled my prop to do some routine maintenance and found that the thrust washer is stuck. Its a 96 Johnson 112 and the thrust washer is the large metal washer behind the prop. Tried some corrosion x and a rubber malet to no avail. Any suggestions?

Yeah, this pic is from the following weekend after not getting the boat started. Cleaned battery terminals and it cranked but barely. New battery and all is good. I am changing the foot oil tomorrow and that pic you had has me scared, hope mine doesn't look like milk.
