Sounds love me your backing in to deep/ shallow depending on the ramp angle. We all have had those days, things just don't go right ! Occasional days are completely acceptable because we are humans and not perfect. But when your the same guy day after day....then you have a problem !
If that...
Residual oil in the fuel will be left when the gas evaporates. Good reason to use a fuel additive to keep that from getting gummy. Some call it snake oil and won't use it. I have for most of my 60 years of boating. Never had a carb gum up from fuel residue in all 60 years. When I buy a used...
Been doing that for years, my current boat has a built-in 18 gallon tank but only 17 gallons is usable to the motor. Carried a portable tank and ran until main tank stopped . then added three gallons at a time and marked the gage for each three gallons. Now, I know how much fuel I gave used...
There is a large demand for wasp and bee venom to create serums for people that have serious allergies to stings. In order to collect their venom they must be free of any poison or bug spray. Most will remove the nest for free if there are no sprays or toxins used on the nest....and it can...
My apologies, just realized it posted 1982 and should have read " 1992" ...damn spell checker or what ever it us called often changes characters that I don't catch....don't know how to turn it off...
Just went back to recent posts and found more character changes on them !!
Actually checked a Mercury outboard website and according to Merc the oil injection system was incorporated in the late 80's then well into the mid nineties. Very popular and had very few issues.
Not on my 40 hp....serial number and title show 1992, if you look up that year and model, most all have oil injection. They were very popular because they actually produce closer to 45 hp than 40 hp.
You should have one that can be deployed from the water, won't do much good if your in the lake and the ladder is up inside the boat. I have figured out a way to board my 16' by using the power tilt and trim. Not easy but very doable.
Bald faced hornets have a memory....if any survive, they may very well come after you at a later date. They are nothing to mess with.....best to call a professional. If the nest has not been sprayed they may take it for free so they can make serum for folks with severe allergies.
I have a 1982 model and it has been an excellent motor. Mine has the oil injection system which has been flawless. My friend is a motor mechanic retired, but claims they work very well as long as you keep using the same brand of quality two stroke oil. Mixing together cheap oils can cause...
I fill mine at our local fuel station then drive home to its storage. A few miles down the highway vent all the vapors then while stored in my barn it is very easy to detect any leaks. I also keep a couple fire extinguishers in my barn as a just in case. Folks should think about...
They need to figure a better way to store their porta potty. In my cuddy, I can get it out in two minutes on a slow day. Lift the center cushion and lift it out, in snap two levers and carry it to the potty dump.
