Hi again,
Thanks for all the response to date.

I should point out that I'm an Aussie who's only lived in the USA
since 2000, so I haven't got a clue what you're talking about
regarding that radio show. I know what PBS is and that's about it.

It is a call in show where two guys answer questions about cars and
car repairs. It comes on at 9 00 AM on Saturday. Our local station
likes it enough to offer it at 3 00 PM the same day, as well. They
will not stand on ceremony about it not being a car, I am sure.

I disagree - and you don't just call in, you call an 800 number, and
leave your callback info and the nature of your problem. The shows are
taped; they call the ones they think they might want to have on (as do
nearly all the NPR shows), screen them, and then have them on during
the taping. Judging from the "callers" I suspect the screen for those
who will be personally entertaining as well.

The show is popular because it illustrates things that might happen to
their listeners. Your boat isn't one of them, unfortunately.

That said, I agree with Jere about gas engines. StaBil in every fill,
and run dry at the end of any period where non-use will be an extended
period...
