Bite me.

Harry, for Mose's sakes!

What kind of way is that to talk to someone who gave you a good idea. Did
you ever read the book, 'Cujo'? Well, sometimes I'm reminded of that nice
St. Bernard when I read your posts.

Pilot hole? What's the etymology?

We've always called it a '****er' in the shop, and the "tell-tale" in
front of customers. :-)

If I wanted to pretend I knew a lot about outboards, what would I call it?

I've got the double sided muffs, the best one's West Marine sells,
with
water coming to both sides. Maybe the impeller's shot. Today I'm
going to
put the engine in a big garbage can, fill the can with water and
start the
engine. If I don't get some water from the 'pee hole' then I'll know
something's dicked up with the enging.

Be sure that the water level in the bucket is at least 1" above the
split where the gearcase is bolted to the exhaust section.

Bill Grannis

It came almost to the bottom of the anti-cavitation plate, above the
cooling water inlets. If I were on the muffs, it would only come as
high as
the inlet. I don't understand why an increase over that is necessary.

Salmonbait
The water level must be above the impeller. When you are on muffs the
water is pushed up to the impeller. When you are in the tank the
inpeller must be submurged in water.
Well, ****. Learn something new every day.

The water was almost up to the bottom of the anti-cavitation plate. A
good,
healthy stream was coming out the pee hole. The engine ran normally, with
no overheating warnings or anything for about twenty minutes, to
insure the
gas with the stabilizer got into the engine.

I guess we'll see in the spring. I went to the Yamaha site to buy a
manual.
Couldn't find one for my year. They show only 2005 and earlier.

Bill, Dave, you guys sell service manuals for 2008 Yamaha F150's?

My Yamaha F150 owner's manual calls the hole a 'pilot hole'.

Here's their address in case you need it:

Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA

Googling hand sore from playing with slammer?

pilot (n.)
1512, "one who steers a ship," from M.Fr. pillot, from It. piloto,
O.It. pedoto, usually said to be from Medieval Gk. *pedotes "rudder,
helmsman," from Gk. pedon "steering oar," related to pous (gen. podos)
"foot" (see foot). Change of -d- to -l- in L. parallels that in odor/
olfactory. Sense extended 1848 to "one who controls a balloon," and
1907 to "one who flies an airplane." The verb is first recorded 1693.

hole
O.E. hol "orifice, hollow place," from P.Gmc. *khulaz (cf. O.Fris.,
O.H.G. hol, M.Du. hool, O.N. holr, Ger. hohl "hollow," Goth. us-hulon
"to hollow out"), from PIE base *kel- (see cell). As a contemptuous
word for "small dingy lodging or abode" it is attested from 1616.
Meaning "a fix, scrape, mess" is from 1760. Obscene slang use for
"vulva" is implied from 1340. Hole in the wall "small and
unpretentious place" is from 1822; to hole up first recorded 1875. To
need (something) like a hole in the head, applied to something
useless, first recorded 1951, probably a transl. of a Yiddish
expression, cf. ich darf es vi a loch in kop.

Bite me.

What is the etymology of "Bite me"?

Not sure, but from a philology standpoint, it's clearly negative in
tone.

What is the etymology of "philoloogy". It sounds like a field of study
Bassy would have majored in.
