Joe - Accumix questions..

Does it have a max horsepower it can be used on? Would you run this over a VRO System? How much does it cost? What are you thoughts of how it has preformed for you? I am just kicking around the idea for not hooking the VRO system back up on the 235. I have to get a new tank if i do so, is that money better spent else where. I have a fear of the VRO going to crap and the motor going good bye. If I mix the fuel in the tank with oil I know the motor is getting mixed gas no matter what. I was wondering if the accumix is a system that could replace the VRO, or do I keep things as they are. 1993 23' Walkaround Whaler Drive

The Accu-Mix delivers the correct amount of oil to the porportionate amount of fuel. I have never had any problems.

The gas line from the tank goes to the inlet and then a line from the outlet to the motor. There is no electrical hook-up. No mechanical parts. Pretty simple set-up. I'm not sure if it's sufficient for a 235 hp motor. As I recall mine had a max hp rating on it in the 25 hp range. I'll see if I can find the paperwork. I paid around $100.00 for it and ordered it through http://www.mastertechmarine.com/arine.com/.
