Blue Marble? It's supposed to do all kinds of wonderful stuff, including more power (due to a chemical conversion of the metal parts), less fuel consumption (due to less internal friction), and less stink (due to vegetable base). I'm not promoting this at all, but I've got a merc 200 hp V6 with a pump. It loves fuel and oil, and yeah, it stinks too. Can you run this stuff with oil injection?
I know, grab your popcorn, here we go....

I haven't heard of it, if it meets TCW 3 specs it should be ok.

I would run either the OEM DI stuff or Amsoil but would avoid all the other snake oils

I have a gallon of it, yet to try it tho...Lots of claims but not much proof yet. I have a friend who claims it runs cleaner in his snomobiles, less smoke. I dont think it has the TC3-W rating because it fails the water sheen test.
I have an old 1960's trolling motor that smokes bad so I will be trying it this spring

If your really worried about the smell etc..switch to a name brand marine synthetic 2 storke oil. Oil will not do much for the motors drinking prob though.

I won't run amsoil in anything just because of the marketing scheme they like to use :grin:
I'd stick with TCW-3 oils in your boat as well. You know they work.
That said, I've run all sorts of stuff in my PWC (which I deleted the oil injection on because it failed leaving me stranded), I just make sure I pay attention to the oil's resistance to separation at different temperatures and stuff like that. I run TCW-3 oil 95% of the time, though.
