Anyway, I get my boat and go. Last time I go there for anything.
Sounds like they're goners anyway.
Looks like you were just in time. Good move.
Better see if they actually winterized your boat.

I'm not taking any chances. I took it to another Yamaha guy a little
further down the road, Stafford Marine. Told them what happened. Told
them to winterize it, even if it had already been done.

I hadn't given the Dumfries folks any money, so I'm not out anything.
It just takes an extra half-hour of driving to get to this place. But,
that's OK.

Read that manual and winterize it yourself.......
oh wait...you don't read manuals.


He has a big boy outboard that they don't sell at Toys R Us.

And a *new* big boy outboard. Once the warranty has expired, *then*
I'll start doing this stuff myself.

Up until then I figure I'll help out the local marina economy. When
you've got all the money I have (~snerk~), a hundred bucks once a year
isn't going to hurt anything!


When it comes time to DIY be sure to consult with Donnie and the Plum.
Donny has a little rope pull kicker and the plum once owned half
interest in a 14 ft hobie.

Glad you got your boat back without undue problems.
