Thanks for the info. I had heard that the Hondas were a bit loud at
high power and had thought to rebuild the exhaust system to
incorporate a larger exhaust pipe and more muffling so, hopefully, it
would run quieter although only rarely do I anchor in crowded
anchorages.




What's the matter, Pop? Takes you too long to untie all those dock lines and
unplug the shore power cords and disconnect the water hoses and telephone
and cable TV? Not to mention getting all the laundry off the lifelines and
stowing all the junk that's lying all over every shelf and counter in the
accommodation? And scraping all the barnacles off the propeller and getting
the windlass working so you can get underway so you CAN anchor?
