Has anyone had a failure or malfunction incident with the GW oil injection system. Particularly in a boat 10-15 yr old?

If the motor are VROs, problems are verry common with the oil pump.

I have a 94 175 Johnson. I installed a new VRO pump 2 years ago because the original was leaking oil by when the boat sat unused for awhile. The over rich mix would make it hard to start the first time, but once it cleared out it was fine. Other than that I have not had any problems.

By the sea by the sea by the beaut.......
Hmmmm I have an old 23 proline with a 88 225hp johnson that has the VRO unhooked. The tank is still there, wonder how hard it would be to hook it all back up. You cant beat not having to pre mix. Oh well I am just selling it anyway.
