hi,

i'm wondering where the water intake is for the cooling system on outdrives and
outboards. it seems that it should be far enough up that it wouldn't be in much
danger of sucking up sand, but someone recently warned me to be a lot more
careful about not starting an engine when the prop is resting on the sand. how
low is the intake?

Look for intake vents between what is usually called the cavitation
plate and the pointy bottom of the skeg. The intakes typically are right
in that area. I would be wary of starting an engine while the proper is
"resting on the sand."

What is it about Newsgroups that prompts some people to be both hostile and
unhelpful?

I am planning to install Office 2010 Serial and I am considering getting Windows 7. I have been shopping online and I have found Office 2010 Home And Student Keygen and Windows 7 Upgrade. When I think of an upgrade, I think of it as something to improve Office Professional 2010 64 Bit I already have. Is this the case with Windows 7 Serial Key? Is it an improvement on Windows 7? If so, why hasn't the upgrade been integrated with the Windows 7 software?

Why do I get the idea the only thing you get by clicking on any of
these links is a virus?

Especially since the posting address maps back to:

Organization: shandong industrial arts institute






You guys are spoiling the fun; surely, there are several posters here
who would have clicked on the URLs and downloaded the virii.

Is Harry inviting some folks from China to add support to the socialist liberal
side of the house?

You must be referring to Harry Krause. He is nasty by nature and he is
unhelpful because he knows little, of value, about boats. I look forward
to having many productive boating discussions with you, Alex. Welcome
aboard.

There are always a few bad apples, just ignore them. The vast
majority are not hostile and try to be helpful. Ask away.
