[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 472498, member: 12995"] Idle will always give you more smoke as will a restart. Depending on your situation and how you run your boat, you can run 100:1 mix which will help cut down on the smoke, but if you need to use full throttle often, I wouldn't recommend it. I run my boat upstream around 1/2 to 2/3 throttle (it's the smooth spot and quietest rpm range) and I've been running synthetic at 100:1 in two different boats/motors for the last 12-15 years with no problems. I've been running premix for a long time as the vro pumps always seem to crap out. I'm never in a hurry and our max range between wing dams is around 3 miles so just don't need WOT and I hate the extra noise especially out of a jet. I've used the Amsoil synthetic and now the Quicksilver synthetic. [/QUOTE]
