Its not the motor that has the problem, it is the oil pump, they are pretty easy to work on. The cost would depend on what kind of a motor you have and the horsepower.Im looking at a boat with a motor that has a oil injection problem. how much does it cost to fix a?
are you talking bout the oil mixes with the gas automatically,


called a VRO?? if so you can simply disable the pump and mix the gas and oil yourself.
Nowhere NEAR as costly as fixing (or replacing) the motor when that oil injector fails on you. Even a rebuilt oil injector is risky to use...ask any seasoned outboard guy. Forget the injector. Take an extra three minutes and mix your gas/oil.
First off the VRO is exclusive to OMC motors (Johnson %26amp; Evinrude). Secondly you need to have the motor checked to make sure there is not already any internal damage. Do a compression check. There should be no more than a 12-15 psi difference in any 2 cylinders.





If the compression is good, have the oil injection disabled by a certified marine technician. Then you will have to mix the gas and oil yourself using a 50:1 gas/oil ratio with a quality TCW-3 oil.





Having the oil injection disabled is a lot cheaper than if the oil injection does fail. And if it is an older Mercury IT WILL. In older Mercurys a plastic gear on the crank drives a steel gear in the oil injector. Think about it, plastic driving steel.
