OMC and Mercury both have a terrible reputation for oil pump gears going out and burning up the power heads. Wish someone had advised me to mix gas and oil in older outboards--had a boat with twin outboards running at speed; one outboard burned up because the oil pump gear destroyed itself, and I never heard the alarm. Save yourself $2 - $3,000, mix your oil and gas in your gas tank on older ('80s - '90s) outboards.
