Bass Tracker Pontoon Boat

Okay I have two boats...one is a 2006 bass tracker boat and the other is a pontoon boat

my bass boat takes straight unleaded gas and no oil mixed in it

and my pontoon boat takes gas mixed with oil 50 to 1


would it be okay to put the pontoon boat gas ( already mixed with oil ) and put that gas into my bass boat?


I accidently filled all of my gas cans with gas and mixed them all with oil.. 50 to 1
it is a 4 stroke motor

HI...
you migh clog an injector or the carb with the mix. It will smoke like crazy even more than a 2 stroke does.. I in advertedly fillled my dixie chopper with gas meant for my boat... It smoked like nothing on this earth,,,,, It took for ever to clear out too.
My advise is .... yes you can but dont do it...
The other problem is fisheries and wild life and the sherriff dept will pull you over if the motor smokes too much... and you may get a ticket for excessive pollution. I live in florida and know a few deputies and they regularly give tickets for this especially when the person says they put oil gas mix in...

Alan Jones, executive editor for Boating World Magazine walks through the new Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 18.

Picked up a Bass Tracker pontoon with 96 Mercury 115 on it couple of weeks ago. Started the motor up with ear flaps and everything sounded good when I bought the boat.
Took to the lake last week and put in the water. Boat fired right up ran fine. Alarm came on after just a minute or 2 and will not go off now. Stays on all the time now if the key is turned on.
I know I have good water pressure and motor is not hot.
I am 99% sure that I am getting oil injection, but added oil to the gas just to be safe until get this issue lined out.

What else will set off alarm?
What should I check?
Thanks

How did you determine it's not overheating? Cylinder head temp can be measured with an infrared temp gun or thermomelt stick (available at ishopmarine.com), should stay below 165º or so.

The alarm is a peizo buzzer in the control box, with 12V coming from the purple accessory wire, and grounded by a tan wire attached to 2 temp switches (one each cylinder head) and the oil sensor. Could be a wiring fault along there shorting the tan wire to ground.

The temp switches are at the end of tan wires near the top of the cylinder heads. By disconnecting these one at a time while the alarm sounds, you can determine which one is malfunctioning.

You can test the switch in a pan of water on the stove with a kitchen thermometer, using a multimeter or test light and 12V power source. Switch should close at around 165º F.

[Note to mary: you misunderstood what your dealer said; oil isn't mixed with gas in a 4-stroke engine]
