    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Do realize now why they sell so many joystick controls. If you have 8 turns lock to lock you just can not mentally remember while docking how many turns was that. Add in 4 blade cupped props so REV does grab much, and it's just hard to steer. I'm getting better, but this is going to be a...

    Strange running

    Strange running

    Strange running

    Coming up as a 1987 carb TB ignition and mechanical fuel pump Do you know if it does it quicker if it has a full tank of gas as opposed to half tank? Can you dump the contents of the fuel filter in a clear container to see if there is anything but clean clear gas?

    ok, I can see it, but it's so close really didn't know what it was That's the engine breather hose. It connects under the flame arrestor or right beside it. If the motor has any oil vapors they are drawn into the motor and burned
