Like you, I run the older outboards and want to make them last. Go to Wal-Mart and buy one of those mixing bottles like has been mentioned in this thread. Will cost under 5 bucks. Or do like Yukon Jeff said; empty a 16oz can of TCW 2 Evinrude oil into 5 gallons of gas. It'll make the gas a little oil rich but that won't hurt a thing. I been running 2 stroker outboards for over 50 years and never heard of one blowing up because there was too much oil in the gas. The most that could happen is that you'd foul a plug and plugs are cheap. That 9.9 Evinrude is a good old motor. Keep good mix of oil in it and check on the impeller every year and it will last a long time.

The premix always scared me. I always carried a 6 pac of Merc or OMC oil and did my own mixing, just bought their gas. I sold my big boat in the early 90s and haven't bought gas from a dock in years.
