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.


You're half right...which is better than usual.
I do own a 1954/55 British Seagull 40 Plus that requires a starter rope to
be wound around the flywheel.
On my Princecraft Yukon I'm all electric start...... both the 25hp Johnson
and the Minn Kota.


Pansy. That's it. You're off my team. Who ever heard of a real man with
an electric start 25 HP outboard motor. What color is it? Pink I
suppose, to match your Toyota beer hauler. And learn to drink
responsibly. One six pack of Corona should last you all year like it
does for me.

on occasion. As always, have a nice, simple-minded day.
