Folks here should remember to take caution when receiving advice from
just any poster. This NG has its share of non boaters and
mechanically challenged boaters.

I completely agree with you, but would take it a few steps further. I
would be hesitant to follow anyone's advice in any NG without verifying
the information. In general the advice given in all NG's are
contradictory and many times the advice given can be very dangerous to
follow.

I have often received some great advice in NG's, but have always
verified the advice from a mfg and/or mechanic. In all NG's there are
people who think they are "the pro from Dover", but continually give
incorrect advice. JohnH owns an outboard motor, so it does not surprise
me he was not familiar with how to store a stern drive, which is why he
called the marina. He is also one of those people who KNOWS he is not
the "Pro from Dover:, and doesn't pretend to be one in the NG.

I called that specific marina to see how they did it. I stored my I/O with
the drive down in a boatel. I very seldom raised my sterndrive for
anything, unless I trailered somewhere. That was done very infrequently.

JimH should be very proud that you responded to him. Most folks aren't.

My mistake.

He's confused giving advice with reporting what TriState Marine does.
