    Don’t count yourself so lucky. The last guy they took 8 months to find fell out of 29’ boat ;)

    Oil change interval, synthetic or no, curious what we all do

    I drive upwards of 30k per year. My daily driver (Civic) has 199k. The F150 (Ecoboost) has 52k and my wife’s Mazda 3 has 60k miles. All changed when the light comes on at roughly 6k miles. The F150 and the Civic get the “house” oil at the local oil change shop. The Mazda 3 requires synthetic...

    Mercury bigfoot 60hp what running battery voltage is normal? 12.6-12.7v currently. Replace stator now?

    25 seapro 2 stroke - Oil/ fuel in water

    Aerator water Pump & drain overflow port.

    Guess I didn’t understand your question. My over flow goes out a thru hull in the wall of the tank. To drain the tank I simply pull the plug. Sounds like you have to unscrew the stand pipe to drain completely

    How do you guys mix Gas

    That was 40 some years ago…. Fuel and oil formulations are very different now. Synthetics, semi-synthetic and heavy solvent loads (ease of mixing and injector use) were not the norm back then. Some oil brands have now gone as far as to advertise their oil’s “self mixing” qualities

    FELL Marine MOB+ Install
