I had a conversation with my favorite o/b motor mechanic today about my
using synthetic oil in my various 2 cycle motors. I have been using it for
about a year in one and see less smoke, and understand that it is
bio-degradable. ( I know, I know, everything is sooner or later
biodegradable). It is about twice the expense of "regular" oil, but that
price would probably drop somewhat if more people used it.

Anyhow, I posed the question that if "everyone who is presently using a 2
cycle engine ( that's me, I have 3 of them)..switched it the more expensive
but supposedly less polluting synthetic oil, would we get the environmental
agencies off of our backs for another ten years?", I'm assuming that many
two cycles will probably be gone from the boating arena by the end of ten
years.

Any comments????....( be nice )!
