Well since there are 3 major brands of outboard which one, what year and what HP?
Gonna need a little more to work with since I can't see that far... in the dark.
One thing is for sure with All brands.. when the pump stops injecting oil bad things happen quickly.

If you want the peace of mind, just get it disconnected and pre mix. It may not be known to fail on that engine (I have no idea), but that is kind of an older motor. It only takes a few seconds of no oil to really mess things up.
