Note: Outboards equipped with a Bing carburettor can use the 25:1 ratio.

*25.1 PETROL (GAS)/OIL RATIO

All motors manufactured from January 1978 are designed to operate on a 25:1 petrol (gas)/oil ratio.

Motors manufactured since 1967*** can satisfactorily use this ratio, providing the following modifications are made:

We recommend Seagull Two-Stroke oil, however, if this is unobtainable, use a good quality two-stroke oil.

**The 50:1 ratio is NOT RECOMMENDED for any British Seagull Outboard. If you know or don't know the model of your outboard, use 25:1 or better.

***Motors built prior to 1967 should retain the 10:1 petrol oil ratio.
