Since
the boat will sit for days without being used and will run for long
periods at high revolution it is more important that the oil is in top
condition.

Oil? Change oil?

What is this "change oil" you speak of? :)

Oil - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil

It is the black substance that drips all over the bilge when you remove
the tube from the dipstick hole.

It is the same black substance that will always spill out of the filter
when you try to carefully remove it, and will manage to miss the tub and
rags you have carefully around the area so you won't make a mess.

Dipstick hole? Tube?

What kind of contraption is this? Oil in the bilge?

My god man - that sounds horrible.

Thank the Lord for clean, high tech outboards.

Like ETEC.

Oil change - sheesh - what's next - change an oil filter or something?

Disgusting.

Jeeze Louise - get out of the 20th century and into the 21st.

That's disgusting.

Jim was talking about running through sand to get to his favorite beach.
If
the water was that shallow, I'd get out and pull the boat rather than
fill
up the water pump with sand.


I think this "fill the water pump with sand" is a bit over hyped.

What I *know* is that John did not comprehend what I said.

Let me repeat.......I need to back over a sandbar to get to the beach.

I cannot jump out of the boat to pull it to the beach as once over the
sandbar I am in water over my head for 30 or so feet. Although my IO is
raised, I still kick up a lot of sand when passing over that sandbar.

The water pump is not filled with sand but there is enough sand to act as
an abrasive on the impeller.

If I knew of a situation like that here, I'd try the MinnKota for a bit

"In our opinion, cost of operation will prove to be less for an E-TEC
in the long run."

And that was using XD-50, not XD-100 which give ETEC even more
efficiency in oil consumption by a factor of 20.

You guys can't win - I win every time.

YOU DROOL - I RULE!!!
