Every plastic bottle, every empty can, every piece of scrap, is picked up, put into trash bags, and taken to the dump. We separate out the plastic bottles and cans. I'd bet we cause less pollution than those marine diesels of yours do, since they are well-known for dumping out a large quantity of toxic gases and solid substances. . —— doesn’t your “boat” have twin Volvo diesels? The boat who is pollution less cast the first stone... These 3 star 4 strokes are pretty close. Some of those older diesels are real pollution hawgs. So were all of the old 2 strokes. I have been running 3 star motors for 16 years and I am not sure I ever saw a sheen on the water from either of them unless I just did not wash it down well after maintenance and I had some oil on the foot. I usually spray it down good with green soap wipe everything with a rag and hose it off. No sheen ;-) I will say Mercury has a better design on the oiling system than Yamaha. If you let a Merc sit for a while, the oil filter drains and does not drip. The Yamaha dumps almost a filter's worth of oil into the lower cowl. You really need to stuff a big terry cloth rag under it. Those Sam's "Bar Mops" are the perfect size. This is strange to me since the Merc 60 and my F70 use the same block and filter. |
