Took the 16 Xcalibur to the largest local lake yesterday in another attempt to burn some more of that 8 month old gas still in it's tank.

The plan is to burn all the old gas off and then change the gas/water separation filter.

Don't know if it's just me, but I find lake boating a bit boring compared to the beautiful mostly unspoiled ocean bays here on the coast.
The advantage of course is not worrying about the tide schedule at the launch ramp and not having to flush the outboard, boat and trailer when I return home.

When I did return and after backing the rig into my driveway, I noticed rubber scuffed off the trailer's tires due to the sharp (almost jackknifing) turning required. Guess I could use this as another excuse to buy that electric drive tongue dolly that I was investigating a while back. ;-)


Is your street and driveway so narrow that you can't make the turn
without (almost jacknifing). Perhaps city dwellas shouldn't be ownin
vehicles that they have to shoehorn onto their property.
