32:1 is too much oil for a fishing motor. You will foul plugs and end up getting carbon deposits behind the rings. Not good. Pistons swell and the rings need the groove to move into.
At 5800 rpm's, a proper oil injection is putting out 50:1. As the throttle is backed off, the oil is reduced (in an injection system).
With this information, you can adjust your pre mix oil to your running rpm's.
A race motor that turns 8500 rpm's run 32:1 due to the rpm's. A promax that turns 6700 rpm's is at 40:1.
My family run-about with a '97 175 Merc runs consistantly at 3600 rpm's. I mix my oil at 75:1 and have for the past four years with no problems. Just good FYI to know.
