Then why was the " bend the ends out just a little " made, dummy? Once

Or trim it a bit with the cutters you used to remove the old one, and
then spread the ends just a little. I don't think it actually makes
much difference what you do, as long as it is bent enough to stay in
the hole, it's good to go.

I haven't been following this thread closely, but has John Herring
offered up a wrong answer yet? It isn't an official rec.boats
misinformation thread until he does.

And don't forget to winterize the innards of your engines with WD-40.

Run out of four-cycle oil for your four-cycle outboard? Heck, use
two-cycle oil in the gas.
