Heck Joat, I always thought the back end of the boat was a perdy good place
to keep the boat motor. :~)

JT,
Thanks for this one.

While I do agree with Leon, a couple of these {albeit a bit narrower} will
do nicely for winter storage and maintenance. Especially since I now have
two small motors to care for.

If some one needs one, let me know.

After someone stole my 10HP O/B, don't have much use for the wheeled stand I
built.

in water.

While finishing my EMT training in NC, I got to intern at the local
Emergency Room.
Guy came in with his hand all wrapped up in a towl, said he was working on
an outboard motor that he had in a 55 gallon drum.
Couldnt tell if the prop was turning since the exaust from the engine was
bubbling the water, so he stuck his hand down in there.

Those were some pretty nasty stitches, his hands were really calused (sp?)
and the major cut was from the bottom of the palm across his hand and up the
thumb to the tip. Doc had a hard time getting the needle through the skin.

Something I always keep in the back of my head when I'm working on my boat.

Skeez,
They BOTH run, and very well, thank you. Hence my comment about
'maintenance' - as in 'Preventative Mantainence'. Always add a 'Fuel
Preservative' and run the carb dry after use.Check, clean and/or replace
plugs at both beginning and end of 'season'. Change 'lower end' oil
similarly. Clean, wax, cover, & store upright over the winter, etc.

With a 'rack' I can use a 15 or 25 gal trash can. Just deep enough to cover
the water intake to check / clean the pump. No need to go much above idle,
and have a hose supplying 'make-up' water. These are rather small motors -
for small sailboats - 6hp and 3.5hp.

Regards & Thanks

Decided to drop in, and spotted this. Nope. However, I do think
they're gonna start on the Luv. Hehehe I've kinda got them in a
corner. About time.

I see the trolls are still trying to act cool. And, failing
miserably. They're so lame it's pitiful. They are really sad
individuals. In a way, they make me think of cockroaches.

I now have wood knobs, for the gear shift, and turn signal, for my
GMC. LOL

The intelligence suffers today automatically in consequence of the
attack on all authority, advantage, or privilege. These things are not
done away with, it is needless to say, but numerous scapegoats are made
of the less politically powerful, to satisfy the egalitarian rage
awakened.
