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
