    Holding tank

    Re: Holding tank There should be a fitting on the deck to hook up a pump out fitting. Most marinas have the proper fittings and pump by their fuel dock,usually charge a fee for doing it,but do it free if ya are buying fuel and supplies.

    85 Larson rebuild

    Well I know it's not worth a lot but when ya get the thing for $200.00 bucks,on the trailer in running condition and run it hard for 2 months, it should be good to go,120-130 between all 4cylinders on a 1984 mercruiser 140!. Used no oil this summer running it hard. Had to run it hard as I had to...

    My opinion, winterizeing
