Default boat is ready!

Just got a call from the boat guy. All new hoses, plugs, spark plug wires, impeller and lube. It's been fogged and ready to mothball for the winter.He even threw another prop in for me to try in the spring. He even said what was on it was a good ski prop but not a cruiser.

Now I'll check the wheel bearings, pull and look the starter over, and get some new tires. Also I want to figure out a battery isolator for it to run two batteries. I'm used to doing that with automotive but not on an outboard. No real trick to it, but different.


Seems like you have a great mechanic! One benefit of smaller towns -
people rely on their reputation and run their businesses accordingly.
It's too bad you can't take it for a test run this year. Something to
look forward to for 2016!
