You need to remember, McGee, that we have over 43,000 members.<br /><br />If we get 43 trouble posts on a hard day, that is one out of a thousand engines in trouble.<br /><br />The other 999 are performing just fine.

If you have a crossflow 90 degree outboard, the trim switch is on the starboard side. On a 60 degree looper, the switch is on the port side. That is the easiest way to tell them apart without removing the motor covers.
