I'll chainsaw the bottom off an old telephone pole for you Katy, you can cut it into chips and put it in little bags to make creosote sachets! Cheers Marty |

Cypress Boat Cabin Oyster Reef at low tide you must have better smelling oyster reefs than we do...out stink if its hot... It's an aquired taste. Spec Trout Water Mellon They have melon sprays already but mixed with speckled trout? yech.... No Katy, not many people know this, but a school of speckled trout smell almost exactly like a watermellon patch. I have no ideal why, but have smelled it many times. Windward shore Mud Open Ocean Breeze Crazy Cajan Crab Boil And to spray people you hate! 3 day old Failed Freezer Squid gag No doubt...Had 30 pounds go bad in a walk in once..Even after the clorox scrubbing is was still gaggable. Holding Tank Horror been there...that's a bad one... Poggie Boats of Cameron never smelled one but I'm assuming it must be pretty bad You can smell them over the horizon, they grind the poggies to a paste and the decks are covered with spillage. BTW poggies are the fish used in cat food, and the oil is extracted. Big biz here they purse sain and have helos on the boats to spot schools. A poggie boat Capt can make 2-300K and only work 3 mo a year. And Fish Oil Spray but your cat (and every other cat in the neighbothood) will love you... It's horrid, I had to coat the interior voids of an old workboat with it to slow down the rust, and it was 110 in the shade. I can still taste it...uchhhh joe Joe |

Do you refer to the Seagull outboard motor here? Certainly the noise and
smell of one of those would be highly nostalgic. I have one that is more than 50 years old but I know it will start when I want it. "katy" wrote in message ...

I was thinking of a squalling bird, but I do have knowledge of the engine you're speaking of and yes, that would also fit.... |

He really liked it although it seemed a bit cantankerous at the best of times... I could rarely get it to run, and after a while, hated it. Since then I've sailed with other people who have much the same results, including two who were expert mechanics and claimed to know these engines intimately. Maybe the secret to getting a Br-Seagul to "run when you want it" is to only want it when it's already running. Or maybe all the ones I've seen have been under a curse? DSK |

Once the motor has run in you need to ignore what they say in the
instruction book and cut back on the amount of oil you put in the mixture. Otherwise the plugs keep oiling up. Apart from oiled plugs dirt in the fuel is about the only thing that will prevent it starting when you want it. You only need three tools and you can fix any problem without removing the motor from the boat. And since the water pump impeller is metal not rubber you can run it up ashore clamped in a vice if you are really worried whether it will start sfter being neglected all winter...
