Some people say that if you are using a modern synthetic you can go to 40:1. If it were mine, I'd start with 24:1 and see how much it smokes.

Brutal when you have a brisk following wind . You end up choking on your own heavy blue exhaust smoke. The 3hp motor with the large fan type thrust propeller was pretty slow. Diesel fumes on a boat can be brutal, too. I remember the only time I got ill on a boat was in Jax while on a large, diesel powered fishing "party boat," and the fumes from the following wind kept blowing back onto the paying passengers outside the cabin. The smell was awful and so was the effect. Blech! No diesel fumes ever on that twin diesel powered trawler you have? Good one! Take it easy on him. It was a beta test of Volvo's new odor-free diesels. He was hand picked because he's the best, most capable captain on the east coast. They gave them to harry free-of-charge for the test and he sold them for twice what he paid, undermining the diesel boat engine market on the east coast for nearly two years. His best selling book about it, "I'm a Treasure In My Own Mind" will be in stores soon.

Rumor has it that Fat Harry's new book will be sold in a package
deal with Barry Soto's latest book of the same name.
