I realize you are trying to make a funny but you'd best stick with
your day job.....oh wait..you don't have one.

mower engine if someone gaps the plug and removes the old one with

proper socket.

Funny comment but far from accurate. I am sure he got a kick out
of it
also.



I don't recall seeing *one* post of his here that demonstrated a
*high*
level of knowledge of any boating subject, and that goes back to
years
past before he began posting here with his variety of handles. We've
had
dealers and professional mechanics, here no longer, that
demonstrated a
lot more knowledge, and we've had hobbyists demonstrating more
knowledge.

-----------------------------

Jim never claimed to be an expert in *all* boating issues. He was
well
known and respected when he lived up here for keeping people's
outdrives
working properly, including complete rebuilds when necessary. He
helped
me out a lot in getting one of my first boats (an old Century)
running
and working decently. It should have been deep sixed. One thing I
liked was that he would never take a short cut in the interest of
saving
a couple of bucks. He found and fixed several amateurish "fixes" on
that boat done by a previous owner that could have resulted in fires
or
other serious safety issues. He earned my respect and has remained
a
good friend. He just doesn't like you very much.




Darn. He doesn't like me. I am crushed.

Your Bozo Bin is full of them.

The only thing in common is your personal definition of what a
"hate-filled right-winger" is. It's not their problem. It's
yours.

But I agree about slammer.

I would drain that tank and use it in my car.

It is a lot easier to deal with a few CCs of condensation in the tank
than $60-70 worth of stale gas.
As dry as it is in the winter, you might not even have that.


Most small boats I have seen lately with built in fuel tanks don't have
drains. You'd have to pump or siphon it out somehow, and that's not a
fun thing to do with gallons of gasoline.


Let's face it. Anything that involves physical labor, however slight,
isn't fun for you.

Right. I've done all the maintenance on my John Deere since I've owned
it, including the daunting task of changing spark plugs.

But that comment coming from someone who doesn't have the prowess to dig
a hole for a deck post was amusing.

Does Harry think that folks aren't fond of him because of political
differences? If so, he needs to do a more in depth assessment.

As per my Mercury manual, I change the engine oil, the engine filter, the gearcase oil and I lubricate all zerks and any pivoting part.

I also make sure the gas is topped up and the proper amount of stabilizer included while running the engine for 5 minutes before the oil changes.

I'll leave the water separator filter in place until next spring/summer when I burn off the old gas.

There may be an additional step or two that I'll discover in my manual.

Last step is putting the trailer up on blocks and assembling the Navigloo shelter I purchased from Costco.


Quit lying, ****. You have the Dealer do it all.

You're a useless slug, just like your Master Krause.
