Larry, I'm not disputing your word, but are you sure there would be an
oil problem?

The reason I ask, is because I have a 4-cycle weed eater,a nd it
doesn'tmatter how you lay it, nor what angle you run it, there hasn't
had a problem with oil leaking or foaming out of where ever it can get
out.

Just curious....

2. Any downside of doing this?


Yes. It's a 4-stroke with OIL in it. You must be very careful the OIL in
it doesn't go where it's not supposed to go. You can only lay down a 4-
stroker certain ways, and even then I'd be deathly afraid the oil would be
splashing around in there where it's not supposed to go, laying down like
that, while you were underway with the other motor.

Too bad it's not a 2 stroker. It wouldn't matter, then, especially if you
took the stupid oil injection off it and premixed its gas the way a 2-
stroker is supposed to be run...dry.

I like the lift idea hooked to the stern....the kind they use on the stern
of outboard-powered sailboats that lifts the hole motor back then up to
lock into a totally dry position above the stern while underway. The motor
would be parked in its proper upright position where the OIL is not an
issue. You can even work on it if it's broke, that way.
