Q&A: about merc two stroke oil injection

Question by walker: about merc two stroke oil injection
I just purchaced a boat with a 1993 2.5 litre 175 merc. When I bought the boat, the guy told me that the oil pump was driven off of a plastic gear, connected to the crankshaft. my question is, how reliable is this gear. also, I have took the cover off and seen that the oil injection unit is just spliced into the fuel line, i think, if i looked right. can i just buy a quarter inch nipple and by-pass the whole thing, or is there more to it than that?????????????
