    Winterize carb

    A Fuel Stabilizer will be fine and added to the Tank, helpsthe entire Fuel system. Now if we could only ban Alcohol from the refining of Gasoline. But a Special Interest Group will prevent that.

    Boat stringer size.

    Welcome to iboats 3/4" will be fine. Too many People live by; if Enough is Good, More is Better, and Too Much is just Right I will assume you are using Plywood for the Stringers as it will resist Twisting and/or Warping. Just make sure to use Wood with Water Proof Glue and then make sure to...

    Adding Distilled water to battery. what qualifies as distilled?

    No. that is not How Water is Distilled. Condensed Steam in a uncontaminated Vessel would be Distilled Water. Here is a Tidbit, Distilled Water is an Insulator, no Danger of Electrocution with it. but 1 grain of Salt in several Hundred Gallons of Water changes that.

    The Transom Bracket is post 83, and it was stated the Serial # was 84.

    1974 Merc 9.8 hp

    In 74, there wasn't Garbage called Alcohol added to Gasoline. I suspect the inside of the Fuel Lines are deteriorating and restricting flow. The last 10% of Throttle can increase fuel demand more than 30+%
