Hey list.<br /><br />I'm an ex submariner who used to sit around the QM plot at 3 AM at about 500 feet under the water and talk about how my next tour of duty would be on a pontoon boat with a beer. Well, now I'm permanantly assigned to a 1997 20' lowe pontoon with a 70 Hp evinrude outboard, and I'm clueless.<br /><br />If you folks have a little patience with me, could someone help me answer a few questions...<br /><br />What the heck is a powerpack?<br /><br />The throttle has a button next to it that the previous owner told me I had to hold down for a few seconds before I choked the engine and started it up. What does that button do? <br /><br />What IS the right way to start an outboard that's been sitting for the winter? Can I do what I used to do to my old VW's and spray a little wd-40 or starter fluid to get it revving?<br /><br />Thanks for your patience, <br />Help!
