    VRO pump

    So I just bought this boat a couple weeks ago. I’m wondering if I should disconnect the VRO pump and mix fuel. There seems to be a lot of controversy over if these pumps are good or bad. What’s your opinions thanks

    Evinrude

    I am looking at buying a bass boat with a evinrude XP 150 on it. It’s an 88 I believe. I’m a little hesitant due to the fact evinrude closed there doors. How long will one be able to get parts for these motors if something does happen? Thoughts?
