Last days of summer
I flush it both ways after running in sal****er.
First I screw my garden hose into the port on back of engine where it pees during running. I turn the tap about 1.5 turns open and water backflushers and comes out the intake slots and in the center of the prop. Then I put the muffs on, open the tap Again and turn the engine on |

The less you try to store, the less that can go bad. Enjoy your boat while you can. Hook it up and come down here if you feel the need to declare a mutiny on the snow and ice. There are deals on the beach right now and until Christmas as a general rule. It doesn't really get busy here until January.. When is best time to visit FL and the Keys? Avoiding extreme humidity and hurricanes. My bud lives down there, says April and May aren't so bad... |

Avoiding extreme humidity and hurricanes. The last time I was in the Keys, it was mid-February and very nice. Warm but not overly hot days, ocean water warm enough to swim in... I've been in South Florida in May and June and it was just too hot for my taste. |

Maybe I have. Somehow I never associated the need or desire to have a trim gauge with outboards. "Cockhole " White is plainly stupid, and needs one. |

We've been to the Keys many times in January - sometimes very nice, sometimes windy as stink. Early spring is generally very good getting into March and April before the summer heat and rain. |

Finally got on the water at noon and it was as smooth as silk. Easily the calmest water we've seen on this lake since I started talking the Princecraft Yukon out there years ago. Was such a pleasure zooming along that I had to be careful to keep the revs down. I don't think they advise zipping along at 5000 RPM for too long. Stopped just off shore from what we think is hockey player Sydney Crosby's house and had a light lunch of a banana and cool clear water. Forgot the dogs 'GatorAid' water bottle so the wife had to let him drink from her cup after she was through. This is the third trip out since I had the trim gauge installed and must admit that it was money well spent. The upper end of the lake can get shallow so I trim the motor up a bit to save bashing the prop on rocks and it's nice to know where it stands. A couple of times I strayed into 4 foot water depth and trimmed up, only to trim down again to speed up in deeper water. No such problem in the larger lower portion which has 150+ depths. Saw a few fishermen out there but only talked to one old guy at the ramp who hadn't caught anything. The HummingBird 170 indicated lots of fish in certain areas. Might have to get a license, file down the barb and try some catch & release next year. Beautiful day, and tomorrow and Saturday should be the same but a bit cooler than todays 25C. Catch and release? Catch and eat is the humane way to fish. By the way there is a trim limit switch on your setup. You can use that switch to trim to the *safe* upper limit and any position between that and full down trim.y it Be aware that the gauge is less than accurate and you risk tearing your bellow if you rely on it. -------------------------------- Doesn't he have an outboard? What bellow? You too? -------------------------- I responded too quickly. Didn't see the others. Just making sure you haven't lost all your marbles. Maybe I have. Somehow I never associated the need or desire to have a trim gauge with outboards. Well, aren't you special! Someone must like them...lots of models for sale. My Yamaha 225 and 150 outboards came with trim gauges built into the control display and the motor, so obviously Yamaha thinks they are of some importance. If you need training wheels as Greg said. |
