Opened the cooling water intake seacocks, turned the batteries switch to
"on" ... gave the throttles a little bump up over idle, turn the keys and
.... varoom !

Both engines hardly turned over once and they lit off and purred. Little
or
no smoke to speak of. It was as if they were just running 5 minutes ago
and I shut them down for a minute.

They had not run since last September.

I start getting the itch hearing them run and the sound and vibration in
the
boat.

I have a Sears Roto-tiller like that. You can spit on the ground,
give the engine a funny look and it will crank right up after
6 months in hibernation.


The thing just wants to run.

Yes, actually diesel fuel but not internal combustion
engine.

Betcha if you're still driving 15-20 years from now, it will be some form of

Lets hope it's some form of electric automobile.
Clean, quiet and with adequate power to do the job... no more & no less.

Let's hope that in 15-20 years (your original projected time table) we are
not burning fossil fuels but producing electricity with new efficient and
affordable solutions using nuclear, solar, water, wind power or other low
cost non polluting resources.

We also need better fuel sources and/or engine technology for vehicles,
aircraft and boats, especially those transporting cargo and persons for non
recreational purposes.
