    Stringer Tops

    After sailing for 20 years w/ an inboard diesel I've just hung a Yamaha 9.9 on the back of my new plastic boat. Now I need to hook it up. Can any of you point me to a site where I can see how to hook this thing up? Thanks. Jeff

Last season, I borrowed a Nissan 9.9 and, while it moved me around, I didn't feel like I had anything in...
