    Continued issues with 2001 evinrude

    There is no bad gas to get out, per say. Just feed it good gas........ If it was running, I doubt your fuel is bad. Check fuel pressure. Did you change the fuel filter(s)? Injectors don't tolerate "dirty" fuel very well

    A prop question (enertia or other versus older props)

    You can play with blade design and the cup to change bow and or stern lift, but that’s about it. Diameter has little effect unless the lower units doesn’t have the clearance for the larger prop.

    Non-Skid - Economic Options

    What type of pads are you using? I use Norton Zirconia Alumina 36 grit pads to cut stainless and carbon steel alloys. Use worn pads for finishing work. Use 80 and 120 for aluminum cut, worn pads and oil to finish.

    Taking my lake toon to the beach

    Need to keep an eye on your hardware and wiring..... A lot of attention is taken to spec "salt resistant" hardware (316 stainless) and wiring fixtures (tinned) on boats meant for coastal use. Not so much on "lake" boats.....

    Gauge panel is falling out, the screws were held on with glue??

    If it doesn’t have to come off now and then for repairs, you can use 3M high bond tape. It is strong and stays where put. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b40065787/

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    Not sure that is the solution… I have 3 pairs of cut sleeves in my PPE bag. All three pairs are breathable. They would not protect from fiberglas exposure.
