Two-stroke outboard oils have a TCW3 rating. Oils must pass a series grueling tests in order to be certified by the NMMA. NMMA testing procedures use four engines: a 40hp and 70-hp Evinrude; a Mercury at 15 hp and a Yamaha at 50 hp.
Where should water be pumped from an outboard motor's engine?
The lower unit's intake opening allows water to flow into the water pump. Water then passes through a hole that eventually reaches the pump. The impeller then pressures the water into a long inlet tube that leads to the bottom of the powerhead.
