    Fuel octane for 2003 225 HO

    After a 10 year hiatus I got my Shadow 200 VT back and am about to purchase a 2003 Evinrude 225 HO for it. I was wondering which fuel is reccomended for these engines ? I have 87 and 93 no ethanol available and will be running Evinrude XD 50 oil. Is the oil injection system good on these engines or would I be better off to premix. Any other tips or tricks would be appreciated as this is my first Ficht engine.

    87 is the minimum per factory, personally I have always ran better fuel. You CAN NOT premix this engine as fuel does not pass the crank.

    Thanks Racer. Would you reccomend the XD50 oil or would I be better off with the XD100 ? I may only burn 2-3 gallone per year so price isn't a huge factor.
