Ooooh, classic response. Someone actually challenges you to back
up your varied and wild pontifications and answer logical questions
and when those questions begin to befuddle you and your stationary
brain, replete with your preset notions about everything, you
immediately start to call people names like dimwit, call what they ask
"mindless nonsense" and tell others what they do are "baloney" and
finally, when all else fails, you utilize the most infantile
accusation of all --- "you're a troll." lol

At least you made a wise choice in your last statement, mainly because
nobody wants to hear your pompous, egomaniacal spewings anymore and
you not participating in this thread again is the best contribution
you could ever make to the thread.

And, btw, when my little Suzuki is still putting along two years from
now with water only being ejected INTERMITTENTLY through the urination
hole, YOU'LL STILL BE WRONG!!!!!

I feel about the same way about an intermittant pilot hole as I do
about a water temperature gauge that only works part of the time. BTW,
it isn't practical to watch the pilot hole, especially when it is on
the back of the motor, and you are driving from the front of the boat.

It doesn't matter, I suppose, what the pilot hole does when you
can't watch it anyway.

Steering from the front of the boat? It's a 2.5 hp outboard with a
tiller, Casady.

Happen to possess a boat with a steering wheel and a 3 HP motor.
certain that the water pump is
working at startup, and being able to glance back occasionally and
confirm you haven't clogged with sand, seaweed or a plastic baggie is
pretty important. The pilot hole on all small outboards I've seen
shoots out to the side so you can see it easily from your seat, by
simply turning your head and looking towards the motor.

As for the pilot hole, it is on the back of the 1/2,the 1 the 3 and
the 5 my family has owned. Motors dating from the twenties to the
fifties. I hear some would rebuild the water pump every couple of
years. One next door neighbor has a fifty year old motor, the other
next door forty. Never replaced anything on either of them.
When did Evenrude quit making the half horse motor? Nobody I know paid
any attention to the pilot hole.

Those motors probably pre-date flexible pump impellers, and may not
have even had (or really needed) a pilot hole at all. The British
Seagull has a metal impeller, too. Some of the small motors you
mention are probably air cooled, anyway. :')

On neightbor has a fifties 35 Johnson, the other a 90 Mercury, The 35
is on a home made plywood boat that has been glassed. The ninty is on
a larger aluminum boat. Skiing, fishing and just riding around are
what we do. The only cruising is one hour or so cocktail cruises.
Rubbernecking at slow speed. I don't remember pilot holes on the half
or the one, but the five it was on the back, and the boat had a
forward wheel. Pilot holes were like Canada, everyone knows it exists,
but nobody gives it much thought.

If the hat fits...

Not on my head, try yours.

You presented no actual challenge to anything I said. You asked absurd questions that could not be answered with a yes or no because they were so off course.

Most of what you said was simply your monaural and egotistical
viewpoint on outboards and was so weak it was unworthy of a
challenge. And, no question is absurd. The absurd ones are the
people who cannot answer a question and so they attack the question to
hide their own insecurities and personal failure to be able to
intelligently respond. Classic misdirection technique...

Your comment about waiting for the final word from "Wilbur Hubbard" sealed the deal.

I have no idea who Wilbur Hubbard is but have noticed that some of
the NG are always on his case so I simply threw that in as a bit of
sardonic wit.

T-R-O-L-L

Ooooh, so now Mr. Salty is resorting to capital letters, screaming
out his accusation in the hopes that someone, somewhere might believe
his infantile, immature response to rational thought.

And, by the way, I now quote you as saying "I'm not going to waste
any more effort on your mindless nonsense."

Yet you responded again after saying you were all done. Do we now
add "LIAR" to the resume of the egotistical, puffed-up pompous Mr.
Salty?

grateful there are so many others with traits called class, common
decency, intelligence, experience, etc. to answer questions of a

Ooooh, the announced "plonk," ranking right up there in the same
immature, childish category of calling someone a troll. People with
class, Salty at Dog, just filter someone quietly if they continue to
fear what they write while others, of the more playground variety,
yaknow the nyah nyah nyah grade school type like yourself, feel the
self-gratifying need to "announce" their intentions (like anyone
really cares). But I suppose that's pretty tough for someone so full
of himself as you appear to be, but thanks for the plonk, it means I
don't have to read your bullcrap theories anymore and makes room for
the really knowledgable posters in this newsgroup to offer advice to
me that is worthwhile.

Turns out you were just as wrong in your grossly amateur sleuth
work as you were with your bogus outboard advice. Craig is a neighbor
who rides dirt bikes and I let him use my computer when his went on
the blink. He ran into some pompous know-it-all egomaniac on some
motorcycle group (guess there's one on every group, huh Salty?) and
apparently was giving them some crap there. And my birth certificate
still says Jay Smith and you are now 0 for 2, only one more to your

BTW, are you also in the custom of lying? I distinctly remember
you said you were plonking me and were bowing out of the thread but
you just keep coming back. LOL Strange.
