    Shipping a powerhead

    I sold a powerhead on ebay and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions, maybe from experience on what is the CHEAPEST way to ship it to the bidder. I live in florida and the buyer lives in Texas. Also I built a nice and sturdy crate for it out of 2x4's. Any help is appreciated.

    I ran my motor that I fixed from sitting for years and it idles good on the muffs but when i put it in at the boat ramp it didn't want to idle very well in the water. It would idle low and stall when I put it in gear while in the water. Any suggestions.
