My old evinrude was only a 50hp(1987) I ran 30:1 in it. Yours may be different due to size, not sure.

I had an '89 XP Evinrude 150 and it was 50:1, I used to keep about (4)16oz. snapple bottles full of oil neatly organized inside one of my storage compartments and mix one bottle for every 6gallons of fuel...never had any problems and she ran great!
