Re: waxing outboard engine

IT is very simple. I accidentally spilled some yamalube on a clean rag and rubbed this on the outside of the crawl and exterior metal parts. This produced a clean and shinny engine.

Come on... you are among friends here, spit it out. Did you think the lube was cleaner / wax? We need all of the details including the mindset leading up to why a person would rub oil on their new engines? :'(

Ah Ha!!!

So now we know what all those e-bayers do prior to taking pictures of their faded scratched boats and motors...

They rub Yama-lube on them and then snap the shutter!

Re: waxing outboard engine

i find that lube does gove a nice glossy finish, but it also acts like a dirt atractant, almost like glue.... so im back to using "ducky" spray...

i am a firm believer that if its not listed on the packaging, thats not what its meant to do....

good luck though....

later
